Snow Much Fun Softball Tournament

Welcome to the home page for the Snow Much Fun Softball Tournament founded in 2008. Thank you to all of you who contributed to the 2010 event and helped us raise $3725 to be distributed to the Prevent Child Abuse Organizations of Vermont and New Hampshire. Almost every team was a pleasure to host this year and we look forward to hopefully having most of you back for next years event. It's never too early to start preparing!

Beginning in 2009 all proceeds are going to help the Prevent Child Abuse Organization.  The tournament is sponsored by The Boss Snow Plow and Springfield Auto Mart. Child Abuse happens far too often, yet is a cause that isn't always thought of when people want to help others.    This tournament gives people a chance to help abused children, while having the fun of playing softball in an unorthadoxed manner.
                                                                                                                                                        2011's tournamentment will take place on January 29 & 30 and will again take place at Lebanon High School. The tournament is a double elimination coed tournament with a $225 entry fee. Please see the rules page for specific rules. We are hoping for Cat Country 105.3 to once again be on site for the 2011 tournament.

Just wanted to make everyone aware we will be having a ceremonial first pitch at 9:45 for the tournament this weekend. The significance of this is Brianna Beland is scheduled to receive the first pitch from CC the Cat (Cat Country 105.3's mascot).

For those of you who don't know Brianna's story, she is the little girl we did the first Snow Much Fun Softball Tournament for in 2008 to help her in her fight against Leukemia. When we first learned of her battle against leukemia in the summer of 2007 Brianna was just two years old, she's still got a big fight ahead of her but she's been up to the task and fighting back against the disease in a tremendous display of courage and strength. The fact that she can come out for the opening pitch, even if only for a few minutes against winter's elements, is significant as she couldn't attend any of the tournament in 2008 because of her condition at that time.

I know not all of you can make it because you have later start times, but for any of you who can it would be a tremendous show of support for Brianna if she could have a large crowd supporting her when she receives the opening pitch. The pitch is scheduled to happen on Field 3, which is the field directly beside the concession stand...........although as yesterday showed things can change at anytime. :-)

Tournament is still on!

So mother nature dealt us a great blow in terms of snow, but the high school is still offering us the use of their facilities for this weekend. Won't be much of a "snow" tournament this year, but it's still a great cause you'll all be contributing too. See everyone at the high school on Saturday and praying for a little unexpected snow won't hurt anyone!

Still time to sign up

We currently have 15 teams for the 2010 tournament, but have plenty of room for more. Our goal was for 16 teams, we need someone to step up and get us that 16th team this year. If we get to 16 and you want to get a team in, don't sweat it, we can easily take up to 20. Deadline is 10 AM Monday January 25th, so it's approaching, but it's not to late to join in the fun.
