Tickets are available for $200 for singles and $350 for couples. Considering the food, drinks, and the fantastic company, it’s quite the deal for a night out in a beautiful setting! This event aims to create connections and community, as well as fund resources that could potentially save lives.
Guns & Hoses Charity Softball Tournament
Not one for fancy dinners? No problem! Swing over to Pelicans Ballpark this Saturday for the Guns & Hoses Charity Softball Tournament. This lively event was rescheduled a couple of times due to unpredictable weather, but it’s finally back on and ready to welcome enthusiastic fans and players alike starting at 9 a.m..
Admission to the tournament requires a $10 donation, and the best part is that kids ages 5 and under get in for free! So bring the whole family along for a fun-filled day. Proceeds from this exciting tournament will go toward SOS Care’s Project Lifesaver program, an initiative aimed at helping local children in need. Every dollar raised helps provide essential resources to support those who need it most, especially veterans and kids.
What’s on the menu to keep everyone fueled and happy during the event? A mouth-watering hot dog buffet will be available, along with limited concessions including those all-important beers! And if you’re feeling lucky, there will be raffle prizes you can try your hand at winning. It’s a great way to spend a Saturday, supporting the community while enjoying America’s favorite pastime.
