By the time 4-year-old Ethan Gregor stepped foot on the grass at Target Field on July 24, he was excited … and a bit uneasy.

这是Lifelong Minnesota Twins Fan曾经参加过大联盟棒球比赛的第一次。并且，由于Rasmussen学院之间的共同努力，双胞胎和愿望基金会，他将在那个晚上的比赛中扔掉仪式的第一次球场对阵白色的袜子。

伊兰有DiGeorge Syndrome，染色体紊乱，导致不同的身体系统的差。在ethan的案例中，他的内部器官异常发展。他在不同的器官上经历了16个以前的手术，他将继续忍受他的心脏手术。

在采用领域之前，他在隧道中等待隧道等第一件事是噪音。出席的28,000次粉丝正在延长他们的声带，以准备对双胞胎最接近的中央部门竞争对手进行游戏，并采用了一个令人满意的噪音消音耳机，以在该区域获得Ethan。

加入他的焦虑是“Rassy”的“Rassy”的超大头和人形的驼鹿服装，即拉斯穆森学院的同名吉祥物。这一刻不仅令人难忘的ethan，而且对驼鹿面具后面的男人来说，史蒂文扎胡尔州的男人也有重要意义。

“The opportunity to share a special moment with a very special little boy is something that I will carry with me for the rest of my life,” said Zahurones, who spearheaded the Make-A-Wish initiative for Ethan. “Seeing that kid smile; seeing that family have fun despite all of the difficult circumstances they’ve faced, that is something that words cannot describe.”

Ethan ignored the nerves and soldiered on. Clad in a brand-new authentic Joe Mauer jersey and Twins cap—gifted by Rasmussen College—Ethan and his mom took the mound confidently and delivered the closest thing to a strike his 4-year-old arm could manage.

“同时，这一经验令人难以置信，而且同时非常令人兴奋，”埃桑的妈妈Karissa Renfro说。“这意味着世界到ethan，他喜欢它的每一秒。”

Ethan and his family enjoyed the rest of the game in a “Champion’s Club” box—a premier seating option behind home plate—courtesy of the Twins organization.

The event was the latest initiative for Rasmussen College, apublic benefit corporation这骄傲地旨在创造它所在社区之间的强大联系。Tamryn Hennessy是Rasmussen College的公共利益倡议副总裁。这对她来说毫不奇怪，Zahurons走出他的方式来帮助给予一个小男孩的愿望。

“Our staff and faculty are passionate about building community through education, benefitting not only our students, but also extending to wonderful families like Ethan’s,” Hennessey said.

授予Ethan愿望增强的机会也落在了目标领域的“Rasmussen教育夜”。教育之夜是认可和感谢对校园社区做出重大贡献的教师和员工。
