Brampton Girls Softball Association are asking you to join them to promote softball (and other sports) in Northern Communities. Please ask your players to bring unused sporting equipment with them this weekend to the Early Bird Blazer Blast Tournament. It will be distributed to aboriginal communities in the north who desperately need this equipment to allow their youth to participate in sport.

If every team contributes 2 gloves, 2 helmets and a bat we can outfit 8 teams in these areas of need. Encourage all your players and parents to look through their closets, garages and basements to support this program.

We would also solicit the support from the many fans that will be attending this tournament who would like to participate in this highly valued initiative.

There will be a collection area set up at the Brampton Fairgrounds on McMurchy. It's worth the drive to the Fairgrounds, wherever you may be playing, to see some of the best teams in Canada as well as helping spread and promote the game in Ontario.

Please see the attached flyer and forward it to your team and any interested parties.
