The Faribault Police Benefit Association (FPBA) has created a commemorative patch for this year’s Rice County First Responders Charity Softball Tournament to raise additional funds for HOPE Center, the county's advocacy center for victims of domestic and sexual violence.
The 4.25-inch patch is $10 and can be purchased in the Faribault Police Department Public Lobby during regular business hours, and on Aug. 18 in North Alexander Park during the softball games.
It’s also available online at https://fpba.square.site/
The annual First Responders Charity Softball Tournament features the Rice County Attorney’s and Sheriff’s offices, the City of Faribault Fire and Police departments, the City of Northfield Fire and Police departments, and the Department of Corrections – Faribault.
Play-in games start at 5:30 on Aug. 18, with the championship game to follow around 7 p.m. All games will be played on the fields nearest the concessions stands in North Alexander Park.
