WFC Toys of Tots

This year our Annual Toys for Tots Fundraiser was held on December 10, 2017 in Myrtle Beach, SC.  Unfortunately mother nature was not on our side, so we had to move the event to Sunday.  We had quite a few teams that did not play on Sunday however even with that, we collected over 515 toys!!!! We are so grateful to our teams for helping this great cause.  The toys were donated to the Toys for Tots chapter here in Myrtle Beach on December 13, 2017.

This was a fun event and our favorite way to end the season.  Thank you to all the teams that played and thank you to all of you for playing the 2017 season.  We hope that everyone has a very Merry Christmas and Happy New Year.  See you on the field in 2018!!!

WFC Raises Money to Donate to Breast Cancer Awareness

World Fastpitch Connection held our annual National Swing for a Cure softball tournament in Walterboro, SC on October 14-15, 2017. This year, this tournament touched home more than ever for our WFC staff as this awful disease has affected us greatly in the last year.  

Proceeds from the event were donated on December 5, 2017 to the American Cancer Society. This year, WFC donated $3,000!! The teams were decked out in their pink everywhere and tournament t-shirts sold out again!!! We had a special first pitch ceremony for some breast cancer survivors as well as recognizing those that lost their battle.

WFC is beyond grateful to our teams for their support during this event and we will continue to reach for higher numbers each year.  We hope that everyone has a wonderful holiday season and thank  you again for helping us raise this money.  

WFC would like to say a huge thank you to the teams, umpires, and staff that made this possible!!!

A great read for everyone out there.  Congrats to Texas A&M.  We send our thoughts and prayers to the family Trinity Harrington.  A softball team is family, and sometimes there are more important things in life.
