Victoria, BC - December 21, 2023
In an inspiring initiative to support underprivileged youth in the community, the Victoria HarbourCats Foundation is set to host a charity slo-pitch game that will see local first responders face off against esteemed members of the Victoria Sports Hall of Fame. The event aims to raise both funds and awareness for financially disadvantaged children, providing them with opportunities to participate in local baseball.
The charity slo-pitch game is scheduled to take place on July 13th, 2024, at the iconic Royal Athletic Park, from 12:00pm until 2:30pm. This unique event promises excitement as local heroes from the first responder community compete against sports legends who have left an indelible mark on Victoria's athletic history. This event will be the second annual game and looks to build on the successes of 2023.
All proceeds from the charity fundraiser will be donated to the Victoria HarbourCats Foundation, specifically earmarked to alleviate the financial burdens that prevent some youngsters from participating in local baseball programs. The foundation is committed to fostering inclusivity, ensuring that every child, regardless of their economic circumstances, has the chance to experience the joy of sports and the valuable life lessons that come with them.
Following the charity slo-pitch game, the Victoria HarbourCats will take on the Edmonton Riverhawks of the West Coast League (WCL) in a regular season matchup starting at 6:30pm. The game promises an exciting display of talent as the two teams vie for victory. To cap off the evening in spectacular fashion, a dazzling fireworks display will light up the night sky, providing entertainment for fans of all ages.
Details regarding ticket sales for this action-packed day of baseball and community support will be announced soon. The Victoria HarbourCats encourage the local community to mark their calendars for July 13th, 2024, and join in the festivities at Royal Athletic Park.
