Home run for Life

Let’s play ball!

Join us for Home Run for Life, a slow-pitch softball tournament fundraiser for the Bakersfield Pregnancy Center. Each participant is encouraged to join a team or form their own team of 9 (or more) players. The cost to play is $10.

Each team will play 3 innings of a slow-pitch softball game. The team with the most runs will be the “Home Run for Life” Champions! Scoring a run during the game is one way to get points. Another way is to fundraise ahead of time; Every $100 raised by a player equals one run! You can also sponsor a player to help a team score more runs. 

We would love spectators to come, cheer on their favorite team or players at no cost. Bring your blanket or lawn chair for a front-row seat! We will have a lunch of hot dogs and hamburgers after the games. For players, there is no cost for lunch. For non-players, lunch is $10.

Players can also sign up to compete in the HOMERUN DERBY to be played after the games. The entry fee for the Derby is $20 for 10 pitches ($1 for each additional), and the grand prize is 50% of total entries. It’s a 50/50 opportunity.

Plus the raffle will be back again. Raffle tickets are only $10, and here’s what you could win:

• $50 gift card to Dick’s Sporting Goods
• $30 to Primetime BBQ
• Salty’s BBQ Basket
• $25 Gift Card to Victor’s Mexican Grill
• Bakersfield Train Robbers Basket with Team Jersey, hat, and 2 tickets to any home game
• $25 to Firestone Grill

Don’t miss out — bring your friends and family, and support a great cause!
