We will be holding a coed, one-pitch, wood bat tournament over Labor Day weekend (Friday, September 4th thru Sunday, September 6th) to benefit Kevin McDonald.
We will provide two wooden bats at each field for use in the tournament.
Kevin has spent countless hours working on our fields, upgrading our fields, running leagues, working with the county to extend our lease and heading the turf project for the soccer and football/lax fields at our Complex.
It would not be an overstatement to say that all of us owe our debt and gratitude to Kevin for allowing us to have fun playing softball at the Kelly Sports Complex.
Kevin has reached out to other leagues in the area as well, running several tournaments and representing our softball community with the utmost class.
With his escalting therapy costs, it would be a huge boost to Kevin and his family if we all got together to raise money to alleviate some of the pressure an injury like this inevitably causes.
