Thanks to the efforts of Gary Slaght, Mike's freind Joe's dad and good freind as well, there is a 2 day benefit softball tounament scheduled for July 11 - 12th !! Gary has spent months getting this organized mostly on his own, and it has finally become official. There are several teams entered and will be other fundraising things at the games like food, T-shirts, etc., Please see the Event Post on the side here. For all you local freinds, and anyone else who can, please save one of both of these dates. We want to get huge crowds and cheer on Miks's old team!!!!!
On another note.. Joe took the van last night with Mike to his old team's first softball game! They had a banner set up with "Gotz Strength" and some of the guys wore Mike's Jersey in tribute. Mike had a great time!!!
Thank's to Joe for taking Mike!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!

Thank you Joe and thank you Gary - this news is unbelievable! And to Mike's old teammates -their tribute and their efforts leave me speechless and grateful. Mike has managed to remind all of us what true friendship and loyalty are all about. The "Gotz Strength" Softball Tournament promises to be a hugely successful event. To have been at the team's game on Thursday night must have been fantastic - thank you. So happy for you Mike - and LOVE YOU - Aunt Nancy
this sounds so awesome! I am going to go out on a limb and assume it's NOT co-ed :( ?
Awwwww thats so cool, I'm glad he got to go out and see the team play because I know it was one of his fav things to do!!! Thank you Gary for setting up the softball tournament as another way to fundraise for Mike:)
