MILWAUKEE — Aurora Health Care and the Milwaukee Brewers have teamed up to make young patients' big-league dreams come true.
Three Aurora Health Care patients were surprised with an all-expenses-paid VIP trip to Brewers Spring Training in Phoenix, Arizona.
The winners:
- Nolen Rosenthal, 13, was diagnosed with soft bone disease, an inherited genetic condition in which his bones don't mineralize calcium which causes them to break easily.
- Owen Strege, 9, lacks a hormone needed to grow, so he requires daily injections to ensure his growth.
- Dazian Garcia, 13, is celebrating the one-year anniversary of open-heart surgery to repair a congenital heart condition.
The VIP trip includes the following for the patients along with their families:
- Meet Brewers players
- Tour the locker room
- Throw the first pitch while they are honored at the Brewers game on Saturday, Feb. 25
- Travel to Brewers Spring Training in Phoenix from Feb. 23-26
