For a Good Cause

Driving past a local park, one might be surprised to see colorful brassieres and kitchen aprons hanging from a line stretched between two posts, but they're there for a good cause.  For the past nine years, women age 30+ have been devoting their Labor Day weekend in our community to fighting breast cancer.  Scores of women gather into teams, wearing funny costumes and even funnier team names, and they play ball, while having a ball at the same time.  To be sure, theirs is a serious cause, but they address it with a spirit of fun and joy.  Over the past nine years, they have raised thousands and thousands of dollars that benefit breast cancer research around the globe and fund two breast cancer support groups locally.   Thanks to their efforts, one day they may indeed see breast cancer eliminated.  Till then, they'll play ball and Catch for a Cure.  Many thanks to them all.
