Banana Ball Meet and Greet at Dunkin' in Brick, New Jersey
On June 13, 2026, my dad and I arrived at Dunkin' in Brick about 90 minutes before the Banana Ball Meet and Greet because I was so excited and didn't want to miss a thing. We were one of the first fans in line, and while we waited, I enjoyed my favorite Dunkin' breakfast with a hot chocolate, glazed Munchkins, and Snackin' Bacon. We even got to meet the Dunkin' donut mascot, who came outside to greet everyone. The restaurant was decorated for Banana Ball with colorful balloons, and you could feel the excitement building as more and more fans arrived. I was also excited to wear my Score Beyond the Lights jersey and my new Banana Ball hat for the event.
When the meet and greet began, I had the opportunity to interview Dustin Baber and Andy Cosgrove from the Loco Beach Coconuts, along with Grandy Morgan and Andy Archer from the Party Animals. I took photos with all four players, collected their autographs, and gave each of them one of my homemade friendship bracelets. One of my favorite moments was having the players sign my Score Beyond the Lights jersey, making it a keepsake I will always treasure. I also had the chance to meet Dunkin's district manager, and we talked about hopefully partnering with the Score Beyond the Lights Foundation to bring free Hands Only CPR events to the community. Thank you to the entire Dunkin' team in Brick for hosting such a fun event and making everyone feel so welcome. It was a day filled with smiles, great conversations, and memories I will never forget.
