Jayden Nelson, 9, is getting a big honor – the third grader will throw out the first pitch at the Mariners game Monday night on “Salute to Volunteers” night.
Nelson was selected after she raised more than $1,000 for Mary Bridge Children’s hospital in Tacoma through bake sales and lemonade stands.
The Pe Ell girl said she was inspired the book Change Makers and knew she wanted to make a change in the world.
