The Cougars are back at Marklund!

After a "pandemic pause," Marklund residents were ecstatic to once again host the Kane County Cougars team at the Marklund Hyde Center campus in Geneva for a Marklund-style T-ball game.

The perfect weather set the stage on Marklund's own Miracle League field for pro player-resident duos to hit hard and laugh harder!

"We hope that no matter where these incredible ball players end up in their careers, they will always remember today and the impact they made on their Marklund super fans!," said Cathy Nikrandt, Marklund's manager of volunteer engagement.
