Let’s hear it for our Atrium Health Levine Children’s Jersey designer, 8-year-old Merritt!

Merritt has been a fighter since she was 2 years old, facing a soft tissue cancer diagnosis with a bravery that continues to inspire everyone around her.

Through every challenge, Merritt has continued to be exactly who she is — creative, determined and full of joy. And if there's one place that always brings a smile to her face, it's a Cannon Ballers game.

Tonight, Atrium Health Levine Children’s and the Kannapolis Cannon Ballers are giving Merritt the chance to leave her mark on the game she loves. Inspired by one of her favorite ballpark traditions, Merritt created the fun popcorn-themed jersey you'll see on the field tonight — a design that's sure to be as memorable as the young fan who dreamed it up.

Merritt, thank you for showing us what bravery looks like and for sharing your creativity with all of us tonight. Cannon Ballers fans, let's hear it for Merritt as she completes as she rounds the bases signifying her own Home Run for Life!
