In August this year more than 200 people came together for the 20th annual Coed Softball Benefit Tournament. The weather was great and the friendships were immense. We had great food, great softball and raised monies for our friend Kris Mercer. Mercer is in a battle with cancer. He and his wife Sandi came out and enjoyed some of the festivities. All in all, with this wonderful community support, we raised over $7,000.
Gary Diekman and I started the tournament 20 years ago and many people have carried it through today. I can’t say enough about our Juneau community and how we band together — Juneau people rock! Thank you again for coming out and supporting a great cause. Lisa Corcoran and I sincerely want to thank the businesses and people who made this awesome event possible.
