AST to Raise Money for St. Jude’s
We are so excited to announce our first annual softball tournament for St. Jude! AST is participating in “Workout for St. Jude,” which is a fundraising event throughout the country where people participate in physical activities to raise money for the research hospital.
We decided that a 16 inch softball tournament would be the perfect opportunity to raise money, enjoy the fall weather, and have a little friendly competition. The tournament will be held on Sunday, September 25th at Clarendon Park. The field is very close to the AST facility, there will be tons of food and beverages for anyone who wants to come!
Ideally we would like to have enough people to field a couple of teams, so invite your friends, family, neighbors, and anyone who may be interested. The more people involved, the faster we will reach our goal of raising $5000 for St. Jude! Anyone can participate for a minimum donation of $20, although we are definitely encouraging everyone to raise as much as possible.
There is a sign-up sheet on the front desk, and you can also pick up a Sponser Envelope and a set of 16 inch softball rules. We would like to have everyone’s t-shirt size by Saturday, September 10th so we can have your AST shirt in time.
We have also set up a Donation Site through the St. Jude website. There is an option to set up your own fundraising website online, and people can donate by credit card, or find out mroe information about our event. You can go to St. Jude and click on the “Participants” button. Click “Search for Event” and our event is located in Illinois under All Strength Training.
We are really looking forward to having everybody get together outside of the facility, so block off your calendars now! Thank you so much in advance for supporting St. Jude!
*Note: this event is open to everybody, including those who are not AST clients! If you’d like to come out, have fun and support a great cause, please give us a call to get signed up at (773) 868-6656. We’d love to have you!
