About:
Our JV and Varsity teams are involved in the tournament; roughly 40 athletes. They are playing during this time so they help when they can, but most of the volunteering falls to our fh families. The players have helped with set up, making signs, running the clock at games when they’re not playing. Families also are needed for set up, break down, concession/t-shirt/raffle sales to raise money to donate to the fight against breast cancer. It runs for roughly 5 hours with 2 Jv games and 2 varsity games each day.
We started this event in honor of a modified coach that lost her battle with breast cancer back in 2015. We wanted a way to keep her memory alive and pay tribute to her. During her fight she devoted herself to helping others, so we use the money raised to make a donation to the Carol M Baldwin foundation in her honor. She was an amazing coach, mom and individual that personified perseverance and team work. Which is why we love that this tournament brings together not only the players, but their families. “
