Fire and law enforcement personnel gathered Saturday at 38-Acre Park for a softball tournament benefit to help collect funds for the upcoming Susan G. Komen 3-Day Walk For The Cure breast cancer awareness event. Jennifer Levin came up with the idea for the Mutual Aid 4 A Cure softball tournament along with friends Jennifer Kilpatrick and JoAnn Manders, who regularly walk in the Chicago breast cancer event. Another friend, Tricia Henoch, joined in to help with the benefit. The ladies team for the August cancer walk will be called Guns N’ Hoses 4 A Cure.
“This is the first time we’ve ever done this,” said Levin. The slow pitch, double-elimination tournament involved eight co-ed teams consisting of members and spouses from area fire and police departments, the Lake County Jail and Hazmat. About 88 participants and more than 100 spectators turned out for the event. At the end of the evening, Sacks N’ Racks won the tournament. The team consisted of Lake County Jail correctional officers. They won a trophy donated by Crown Trophy of Kenosha. Jackie Fagan was captain of the team.
