As some of you know, we’re holding the 4th Annual Lauren Wright Co-ed Slo-pitch Tournament in support of Kids Help Phone and Bereaved Families of Ontario (Durham Chapter). In the first three years of the tournament we raised $13,495.00, split equally between the two charities.
We had to forgo the tournament from 2019-2022 because of Covid but we’re pleased to announce we’re back this year!
This tournament is held in memory of our daughter, sister and friend Lauren Wright who we lost on May 28, 2014 to suicide. It is designed as a fun tournament with both “registered” slo-pitch teams and teams that are thrown together simply for the tournament. As a bonus I have confirmation that Kids Help Phone will be putting a team in this year! If anyone here would like to organize a team of members, family and friends of BFO please let me know. Team registration is $400 but if someone would like to step up and represent BFO we won’t charge you the registration fee, the same offer we gave to Kids Help Phone. We’d love to see both of the charities represented!
Even if you don’t want to put a team in we’d love to see you come out, grab a peameal on a bun, a burger or a hot dog and enjoy some ball.
Date of the tournament is Sunday June 11, 2023 at Lakefront West Diamonds in Oshawa. Game times will be between 9:00am and 4:00pm (last game will end by 4:00pm.)
If you are interested in putting a team in to represent BFO you can email me at wright2greg@rogers.com or send me a message through Messenger with your email address and I will send you the registration information along with the rules.
All proceeds will be divided equally between two charities:
KIDS HELP PHONE
BEREAVED FAMILIES OF ONTARIO (DURHAM REGION)
