Thank you for considering the Charity Challenge!

This is a tournament where a portion of the proceeds go to a KC based Charity. THIS YEAR, FOR 2025, WE ARE EXCITED TO SHARE THE CHARITY OF CHOICE IS THE EXCEPTIONALS SOFTBALL LEAGUE.  This league is for young men and women with a wide range of special needs. These families show up to Hidden Valley on Monday evenings and give their loved ones an opportunity to play the game we all know and love. Many of our local KC area teams have stepped in and volunteered their time for several years in the past.  This year we are hoping to help in even bigger ways.  Charities receiving donations in the past include Sleep in Heavenly Peace, Going to the Dogs, Operation Breakthrough, Hope House and local fire and police depts.
