Church All-Stars go to bat for CAC

The Northfield Church Softball League is going to bat for the Northfield Community Action Center. All-stars from the 16 teams will come together Sunday, July 13, 2:00 p.m. at Babcock Park to play a benefit game for the local social service organization.

The goal for this event, now in its 19th year, is $6,000. Each team will send two players to the game and will collect cash and food donations. Several local banks and businesses are offering matching funds for this event.

John Frederick, commissioner of the church softball league, said the summer months are the time of year when the C.A.C. has its greatest need, especially at the Northfield Food Shelf.

“Please come and watch a great game and make a donation at the game,” he said. “If you are unable to attend the game but you want to make a donation, please make check payable to Northfield C.A.C. and send it to John Frederick, 9230 Edgebrook Drive, Northfield, MN 55057.

The game is always fun and competitive. Since its inception the event has raised more than $63,000 for the CAC.
