Members of the campus and local community are invited to attend the First Responder Charity Softball Tournament, which will be held from 10 a.m. to 2 p.m. on Saturday, July 27, at Kostrinsky Field on the Ithaca College campus.

Attendees can look forward to a great competition, delicious food, and entertainment for all ages, including:

• Opening Ceremony: Moment of Remembrance and National Anthem

• Family Fun Zone: Yard games, bounce house, and activities for children

• Wings Over Ithaca Lunch: Donation-based lunch catered by Wings Over Ithaca. All proceeds from the lunch will directly benefit AFSP, contributing to the overall fundraising goal.

• Raffle: Raffle prizes include passes to Trumansburg Golf Course, a night stay at La Tourelle Hotel, signed Buffalo Bills football, gift cards to local restaurants, and more!

We hope you will come out to enjoy a fantastic day of softball and community, all while supporting a cause near and dear to the hearts of many.
