Beacon Orthopaedics and Sports Medicine New Presenting Sponsor of Great American East/West All-Star Game

Beacon Orthopaedics and Sports Medicine has been named presenting sponsor of the Great American East/West All-Star Game, a high school baseball all-star game scheduled to be played on Thursday, June 19, at Great American Ball Park following the completion of the Cincinnati Reds-Chicago Cubs Business Day Special that is scheduled for 12:35 p.m. 

The event, put together by Hacks Sports, benefits the Southwest Ohio Baseball Coaches Association (SWOBCA) and will feature 24 senior players selected by the SWOBCA. All fans that attend the Reds-Cubs game are invited to stay and watch the All-Star Game.

“Baseball is still the most popular sport in America. The hard work the athletes have put forward has been well recognized by their team this past season, but the honor of being one of the best in the city and competing and playing with and against the best is a real honor and testimony to talent and the discipline of the player,” said Timothy E. Kremchek, MD, of Beacon Orthopaedics and Sports Medicine.

Beacon Orthopaedics and Sports Medicine provides the specialized medical care for  professionals as well as the All Stars of the Midwest and especially Cincinnati. The new Beacon Orthopaedic Center opened its doors late April with all athletes in mind. MRI, Physical Therapy, and Out Patient Surgery all under one roof and open with Saturday morning injury clinics for total patient convenience. Congratulations to all of our Beacon All Stars!
