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!
