This summer, @taylorrcampagna is spending her time at Citizens Bank Park as a ball girl for the @phillies ⚾ This lifelong Phillies fan is also double majoring in sports administration and sports journalism and is an outfielder for @mvillesoftball. <br /> <br /> Taylor first heard about the position when she attended a college night at the park. “The opportunity to work for one of the Philadelphia teams was a no-brainer,” says Taylor. “I also know this is a great way to gain real-world experience and get my foot in the door for later opportunities after college.”<br /> <br /> Taylor works almost every home game, and her role varies from day to day. “If I am on the field, the game consists of preparing in the locker room before going out to the field. From there, we set up our stools and interact with some of the fans while signing autographs and taking pictures. About 10 minutes before the game, we are introduced on the jumbotron and stand for the National Anthem. Once that’s complete, we head back to our stations and get ready for game time!”<br /> <br /> If she’s not on the field, she’s selling raffle tickets around the stadium. “The raffle collects money for several different Phillies Charities. This is super fun because we get to interact with all the fans and raise money for a great cause,” Taylor shares. Giving back to the community is a big part of the role. “Aside from being on the field and working at the stadium, this role also gives me the opportunity to take part in over one hundred charity events and clinics in the surrounding areas like New Jersey and Delaware,” explains Taylor. “We do different appearances at nursing homes, restaurants, and schools. We also help conduct youth clinics for kids ages 6-14.”<br /> <br /> The best part of the job? “My favorite memory so far has just been getting to meet all the girls and experience the games alongside people who love the Phillies as much as I do,” says Taylor.
