Team captains, this is your sign! Register your team for the The Center for Growth and Independence Softball Fundraiser and prepare for the most unpredictable game you’ll play all year. It’s a bribe-style tournament, which means the other team might end up hitting with a golf club, running the bases backward, or wearing a dress at bat. Tag the team you want to challenge, then sign up: www.thecentergi.org/softball

Sponsoring the Center for Growth and Independence 39th Annual Softball Fundraiser (Bribe Your Way to Victory!) is more than putting your logo on 400 t-shirts that go out in the community…It’s showing that your business supports inclusion, independence, and opportunity for adults with disabilities. Your support helps expand access to programs that empower adults with disabilities to thrive more independently. One team registration is included with all sponsorships too (great way to team build with your staff!) Sponsor here at www.thecentergi.org/softball
