IMPORTANT - PLEASE READ
The upcoming Labor Day 1-pitch tourney will be dedicated to the raising of funds for a league member in need. Unfortunately, every so often a league member needs help to get by. Life can be difficult at times and this is one of those times for league members Stephanie and Ryan Hines. The SBA family has stepped up in the past. Let's do it again. The email below is from Cindy and Lowell Snyder. It pretty much explains the situation.

Subject: League Member Fighting Cancer
Good afternoon. A league member and best friend, Stephanie Hines aka Schanbacher, has been fighting cancer on and off for several years (and winning) however, since November, her cancer has progressed to stage 4. Her husband, Ryan Hines (a former league member) has been by her every step of the way. Stephanie has been hospitalized most of the time since November which has added a huge financial burden to the Hines family situation, especially as they try to focus their energy on fighting this awful disease! I know in the past, Softball America members have generously helped fellow league members in need with donations, etc. I am humbly asking if you have any suggestions for fundraisers/donations. Thank you so much!!

Hi Cynthia,
Yes, I know Stephanie and Ryan Hines and it hurts me to hear they are going through such a difficult time.
I will dedicate the upcoming Labor Day 1-Pitch Tournament to Stephanie and Ryan. I will increase the entry fee by $5 per player. That will raise $520.00 right off the bat (no pun intended). If you get involved and recruit others to help you, I’m sure we can get a bunch of gift baskets donated to be raffled off during the tournament. Someone can set up a 50/50 as well. When the time is right we will reach out to league members and ask for help. I will open the 1-pitch registration toward the end of July announcing the tournament and the dedication to Stephanie and Ryan. That would be a good time to reach out to league members for help setting things up.

That is awesome!!!! I can’t thank you enough!!!

I will kick in 2 free league fees for a raffle basket. Hopefully someone can help Cindy and Lowell set up a GoFundMe page for donations. I'm sure Cindy will need help with organizing the raffles, gift baskets, and 50/50s. I know we have experienced fundraisers in the league and I know it would go a long way if you could reach out to Cindy (email address below) and offer your assistance.
