Teams forming for softball tournament

Teams are forming for the second annual Fight for Kapri Coed Softball Tournament, scheduled for Aug. 15 and 16 at Keiser Park, with all proceeds donated to St. Jude Children’s Research Hospital on behalf of 6-year-old Kapri Geernaert of Larkfield.

The beneficiary of last year’s Ice Bucket Challenges was recently deemed cancer-free after being treated for medulloblastoma, a fast-spreading cancer near the brain stem. Surgery at UC San Francisco’s Benioff Children’s Hospital was followed by many months of follow-up treatment at St. Jude’s.

The tournament fee is a $500 per team of 12-14 people and can be made directly to St. Jude in Kapri’s name, either online at tinyurl.com/o6n5lu7 or by calling (800) 805-5856. So far 14 teams have signed up.

For more information, contact Kaela Herrera at 217-7002 or Kaela@so-eventful.com.
