Jim Elder touched all kinds of people every day, always in a positive way. He took great delight in helping others and even greater pride in their accomplishments. We know he would be cheering on these great organizations and he would want you to know more about them and the wonderful work they do every day.

The Second Annual  Home Plate Heroes night was held on May 14, 2009, at Dickey-Stephens Park in North Little Rock. The Travelers weren’t at home, but the concourse was filled with interactive displays of our "Heroes."  

While a recording of Jim Elder calling a long-ago Travs game in the background, our guests dined on ballpark fare.  They also got a chance to take chip shots from behind home plate, have their pitching speed measured byradar guns,  and participate in  other kinds of activities.  Many of the heroes gave away small prizes for answering questions correctly.  
Over 50 painted home plates were displayed, and many of those were in silent and live auctions.  The remainder of the plates were sold in an online auction ending the day before the event
