Pitch for the Cure is only 5 weeks away but
we have room for girls’ fastpitch teams and women’s slowpitch teams!!
(Pass it on)
This special softball tournament takes places June 23-25th
in Springdale, AR which is approx. 1 ½ hour E of Tulsa & 4 hours S of
Kansas City. We send you this message in hopes that your team(s) will
have interest in joining us for the first annual Pitch for the Cure NIT
Tournament.
We will
unite regional softball teams in an event to raise team funds and support
the Ozark Affiliate of the Susan G. Komen Breast Cancer Foundation. This
three day USSSA NIT tourney has a 3-game guarantee for girls' fastpitch
brackets: 10U, 12U, 14U, 16U & 18U and offers games for women's slowpitch
corporate/church teams. The event promotes breast health in our community
to women of all ages as well as the importance of supporting our girls in
sports as a positive life choice. We also hope to boost fastpitch
softball in our geographic region.
With Schutt
Sports as our top sponsor, we hope to raise $12,000 dollars for Ozark
Komen. EACH player receives a Schutt helmet sack filled with
various donated products PLUS the top winner in each fastpitch age bracket
receives Schutt softball helmets in team colors for each player as part of
their award!
We provide game balls, scorekeeper/scoreboard, and teams do NOT pay
gate attendees’ entrance fee.
Besides tournament play, our weekend includes team t-shirt
contests, a home run derby (additional proceeds for Komen), vendors and an
awesome silent auction. Join us for this first of its kind softball event
on June 23-25th, 2006 in Springdale, AR. Show your support for these
great causes and have a great time!

We also invite you or your

candle ceremony that takes place on Saturday night of the tourney. For a
$5.00 contribution, we will light a pink votive candle and announce the
name of your honoree. Each honoree will be listed in the program (if
rec’d by 5-31-06) and on the website. This is for anyone that has battled
breast cancer...whether they are currently fighting, surviving the disease
or lost their battle.
