Queens, NY - July 2, 2003 — Health Plus and the Mets have teamed up for this year's 'Lets Go Kids' program. Throughout the summer, Health Plus will bring 500 Children to Shea Stadium, to meet Mets players, tour the field, view batting practice, and catch a game.
 
"The children really love this program. It gives them a chance to meet their role models," says Pat Cahue, Special Events Supervisor for Health Plus. "A lot of these kids have never been to a game before, so to have the opportunity to see everything up close, and behind the scenes, really thrills them."
