The Durham Bulls recently capped off an award-winning season by presenting a few honors of their own. The Bulls recognized the talented teenagers who bring you Bulls TV as the season wound down.
The Bulls dipped into their brand new scholarship fund at the Triangle Community Foundation during the second week of September and awarded five $1,000 grants for college expenses to veterans of Post 50, the Explorer Post that produces the Bulls’ in-house video and television broadcasts.
