Springfield Little League takes a swing for cancer, Jimmy Fund |
|
BOSTON -- Some remarkable boys and girls from the Springfield Little League are trying to take a swing at cancer, both on and off the field. As a part of the 2010 Jimmy Fund Little League Program presented by Trader Joe's, these children will be raising funds to support cancer research and care at Dana-Farber Cancer Institute.
This program provides Little Leaguers of New England with the opportunity to continue to play baseball and softball after the conclusion of their regular season by participating in local tournaments and fundraising efforts. These youngsters are given the opportunity to develop their athletic skills, build self-confidence, and, most importantly help others by fundraising in their local community.
Last summer, more than 5,000 children around New England took part and raised more than $275,000. This summer, young ballplayers will be back on the diamond working to improve their fund-raising average and you can help.
