UPDATE!! UPDATE!! UPDATE!!
This year we have decided to have the Hitting for a Cure tournament at the Sandlot (Unity Baptist Church). This year we are wanting it to raise more money for children fighting every day with childhood cancer. Here are some statistics to shed some light of what St. Judes does:
The hospital costs about $2.8 million a day to run, but patients are not charged for their care.
The overall survival rate for childhood cancers has risen from 20 percent to 80 percent.
St. Jude treats infants, children, teens, and young adults up to age 21 and for some conditions, age 25.
As of 2012, 81 cents of every dollar donated to St. Jude goes directly to its research and treatment.
And the list goes on and on. Please come out and help us fight childhood cancer.
We will be taking max 10 teams, due to one field. The tournament will have start Saturday and end Sunday after 12. Bring canopies and chairs. The week before, I will send all the team captains a message telling them any changes. Thank you for this opportunity and hope to see you there. Please help us so that these kids get one more day.
