Strike Out Cancer Event a Success

The Heidelberg University softball team sponsored a Strike Out Cancer event to help benefit the American Cancer Society on Sunday, April 26, 2009. The event took place in conjunction with the Berg’s home game verse Oberlin College at Mayer Field. 
 
The Strike Out Cancer event is a special event that recognizes survivors and non-survivors of cancer all around the world. Strike Out Cancer is an event that comes together with the American Cancer Society and the National Fastpitch Coaches Association (NFCA) to help raise funds and awareness to fight cancer.  It was an opportunity for the Berg to give back to their Tiffin community and help support all who have been faced and touched by cancer. The day alone was a day where everyone can join together and help fight the battle of cancer, giving hope and support to all who are affected.
 
During the game, Heidelberg wore t-shirt jerseys to commemorate the event, which were sponsored by Coach’s Sports Corner.  The Heidelberg softball team worked very hard to make this event come alive and would like to thank their friends, family, and community members who came out and help support the Berg while they helped Strike Out Cancer.
 
Supporters joined in the fight against cancer by sponsoring members of the softball team, along with donations, a 50/50 drawing and t-shirt sales. The following sponsored a member of the team and a special thank you goes out to them for their generous contributions.
