In addition to team registration fees, we
challenge each team to raise funds to give directly to Ozark Komen for the
Cure. We refer to this as
your "Team Challenge Donation" which is due at the tournament. (Fundraising
Tips) Since 2006, we've collectively donated $62,500 to Ozark Komen.
Our goal for 2010 is $15,000. This would include each team
fundraising and contributing to the Team Challenge Donations, the Springdale
Chicks donation of 20% of profits, Queen of the Heat contest fees and other
direct donations.
Because Team Challenge Donations are direct
donations without a service, they are 100% tax-deductible as
dictated by law. An award will be given to the team with the
highest Team Challenge Donation in each bracket and an overall Grand
Award Winner. |

the discount date will be entered into a special
drawing. One team will be drawn to receive FREE event shirts for
the players (up to 12 qty) plus a dozen FREE softballs.
We provide balls for PFTC games....so these free ones are just bonus!

Cure weekend.) |
