FUNDRAISING GOAL & DEADLINE

This event is a softball tournament and a festival, but it is most importantly an important fundraiser for OK. We need your help to hit our goal, so that we can keep creating great opportunities for Warriors! We are working all the way toward 10PM on Friday, September 23th to hit our goal of raising $60,000! The team fee only gets us halfway to our goal, so we are counting on our teams, players and community to come in with us and go above and beyond to reach the goal! 

Your donation is vital ...

• Because there are more than 291,00 people with an intellectual or developmental disability in Illinois
• Because more than 23,000 people with an intellectual or developmental disability in Illinois are STILL on a waiting list for services. 
• Because the employment rate for Warriors in our community is STILL an abysmal 38%.
• Because we don't accept the above!
• Because we are still 95% privately funded and we count on our events to support nearly 40% of our operating budget.

Please consider making a donation to support our efforts toward righting these wrongs. You can even donate directly toward a Warrior Fundraising Page. Each year, we pair Warriors up on all of the teams playing in the event. These Warriors are working with their teammates toward our fundraising goals. We consider this event a great opportunity to show how we believe inclusion can and should look, in sports and in life. Here's one way we prove that.
