Hiland Hawks Annual Pasta Dinner Fundraiser Jan. 27 Supports High School Baseball

Plates of pasta and community support are coming together in Holmes County as the Hiland Hawks host their annual pasta dinner fundraiser today, Jan. 27, to benefit the high school baseball program. The event invites local families, alumni, and supporters to contribute by donation while enjoying a communal meal and a chance to win raffle prizes.

Organizers set the dinner up as an admission-by-donation event to make it accessible to a broad swath of the community, and a raffle running alongside the meal offers additional fundraising opportunities. Proceeds will go directly to the Hiland High School baseball program, giving parents, coaches, and players a straightforward way to shore up resources for the season ahead.

The fundraiser is a key community touchpoint for Holmes County residents who follow Hiland Hawks baseball. For coaches and players, community meals like this one translate into uniforms, equipment, and travel support without relying solely on district budgets. For neighbors and families, the dinner doubles as a social night and a practical way to keep local youth sports viable.

Volunteers from the baseball program and parent boosters typically staff the kitchen line, ticketing and raffle tables, and clean-up. That hands-on community involvement keeps operating costs low and ensures more of the donations flow to the team. The admission-by-donation model also makes the dinner a flexible option for people on different budgets who still want to back Hiland Hawks baseball.

Beyond immediate fundraising, events like this reinforce local ties. Hiland alumni get a chance to reconnect with coaches, while current players meet supporters who will be at home and away games. Raffle winners add a bit of extra excitement to the evening and help amplify the total raised without adding financial barriers to attendance.

If you live in Holmes County and want to support Hiland Hawks baseball, attending the dinner today offers a direct, community-centered way to do that. Those who cannot attend in person can still support the program through volunteer efforts with future fundraisers or by following the team’s schedule and showing up at games.

Tonight’s pasta plates will do more than fill bellies; they will help fuel a season. Expect a community tally of support to show up in the baseball program’s season preparations and on the field as the Hawks take the diamond in the months ahead.
