A dedicated group of women who share a passion for their community and its leaders are coming together to host a Women’s Community Softball Tournament on Saturday, September 12, 2026, at C**t Park in Hartford, Connecticut.
This is more than another event or another softball tournament.
This tournament was created through the collective effort of women who care deeply about their community and believe in the importance of bringing people together. These women have joined forces, shared ideas, volunteered their time, and worked together to create a day where women, community leaders, organizations, businesses, families, and residents can connect in a positive and welcoming environment.
The goal is simple: bring our leaders closer to our community while empowering women and building stronger relationships.
The tournament will provide an opportunity for community leaders and women from different backgrounds to step outside their everyday roles, enjoy friendly competition, build relationships, laugh together, support one another, and spend meaningful time with the people they serve.
“This is not just my event. This is something that a group of incredible women came together to make happen. Like me, they care about our community and our leaders. We believe that when women come together with a common purpose, we can create something powerful. This tournament is about unity, relationships, leadership, and showing our community that we are present and that we care.”
