KANNAPOLIS,
N.C. (January 17, 2017) - Major League Baseball legend Darryl Strawberry will
make an appearance at Intimidators Stadium on Opening Night - Thursday, April 6
- as the Kannapolis Intimidators begin the 2017 season against the Lakewood
BlueClaws at 7:05 p.m. The eight-time MLB All-Star is visiting Cabarrus County
to promote and fundraise for Serenity House, a division of Hope Haven Inc.,
which works to provide life skills for men recovering from substance use
disorder within a supportive residential environment leading to independence in
the Cabarrus County area.

Meet and Greet at Intimidators Stadium from 4:30 p.m. to 5:30 p.m. as well as
luncheon earlier in the day where Darryl Strawberry, who serves on the board of
Hope Haven, will serve as the keynote speaker.
"Darryl
Strawberry is not only a true baseball legend who has had monumental challenges
in his life to overcome, but is also a man of integrity and faith today. His
story is one that connects to both adults and youth," according to Alice
Harrison, CEO of Serenity House/Hope Haven, Inc.
"The
Kannapolis Intimidators are excited to team up with Serenity House and Hope
Haven to bring Mr. Strawberry to our community," said Intimidators General
