Join us for a fun evening that celebrates the life of a famous Hoosier, Carl Erskine. We will watch a short film by Ted Green Films.

The Best We Got: The Carl Erskine Story, a Ted Green Films production, tells a story about an Indiana athlete who rose to fame as a professional pitcher during the Golden Age of Baseball. Carl was also known to be vocally against discrimination and advocated for individuals with special needs. He encouraged others through his core values of grace, humility, and servant leadership.
