WOW Logistics' Battle for the Charities Kickball Tournament & Charity Softball Tournament

What: Battle for the Charities Kickball Tournament

When: Saturday, September 18, 2010

Where: Patriot Park, Appleton, WI

On Saturday, September 18, 2010, WOW Logistics will host the 3rd Annual Battle for the Charities Kickball Tournament in Appleton, WI. WOW is pleased to announce that this year, all the proceeds from our fundraiser will go to support the American Heart Association!

Last year, on Saturday, October 3, 2009 WOW Logistics hosted the 2nd Annual Battle for the Charities Kickball Tournament in Appleton, Wisconsin. The day long event was in conjunction with the WOW employee company picnic and consisted of six kickball teams who battled for six separate charities!

At the end of the day, WOW was able to raise over $8,000 for local charities. The winning team took home the kickball trophy and also nearly $2,500 for their charity, United Way. The remaining team charities consisted of Special Olympics, Rebuilding Together, Diabetes Foundation, Children's Miracle Network and the Wood County Child Abuse Prevention Task Force who will each receive a donation of nearly $1,200 each.

Over the past three years, WOW has raised nearly $20,000 for local Wisconsin Charities with our 'Battle for the Charities' events.

When: Saturday, September 11, 2010

Where: Forsyth Fields, Jerome, ID

On Saturday, September 11, 2010, WOW Logistics will host the 3rd Annual Jesse Simpson Memorial Softball Tournament in Jerome, ID. WOW is pleased to announce that this year, all proceeds will support the Idaho Fallen Firefighers Fund.

Last year, on Saturday, October 3, 2009 WOW Logistics hosted the 2nd Annual Jesse Simpson Memorial Charity Softball Tournament in Jerome, Idaho. Along with many great sponsors, WOW Logistics was able to raise nearly $10,000 for CASA (Court Appointed Special Advocates). Each year nearly 780,000 children in the US are caught up in the court and child welfare maze and it costs approximately $950/child/year to take care of them.

The tournament, which began in 2008 in remembrance of Jesse Simpson, a WOW Logistics' employee who lost his battle with cancer, has raised over $20,000 for local Idaho charities. WOW would like to take the opportunity to thank all our sponsors, especially Jerome Cheese (Davisco), Glanbia Foods and Hilex. Thank you for your great support!
