Star Charity Baseball Tournament is scheduled for Sept. 21-23, 2018.
The event was held in Oceanside, NY, had students volunteering their time, and attracted hundreds from the community. So far, a total of $11,400 was raised between the 2016 and 2017 tournaments. Jeremy created the event, brought in students to volunteer for community serviced credits, marketed and promoted the event, and brought in corporate sponsors.
