2022 Softball Benefit Game

The Varsity Team is proud to announce a benefit game to be held on Saturday, April 2, 2022, at 6:45 PM “under the lights” against the Long Beach Marines on Bob Klein Field (home of Molloy College Softball) in Rockville Centre.

All proceeds will be donated to Alzheimer’s Drug Discovery Foundation (ADDF).

The Alzheimer’s Drug Discovery Foundation (ADDF) has been leading the way in Alzheimer’s research since its founding in 1998. Thanks to the generosity of its founders, Leonard A. Lauder and Ronald S. Lauder, 100% of every dollar donated goes directly to science. The ADDF has awarded more than $209 million to fund over 690 Alzheimer’s drug discovery programs, biomarker programs, and clinical trials in 19 countries.

Admission will be $5 for adults and $2 for students. We will also be selling various items including car magnets and holding a 50/50 raffle.

The six umpires officiating the game will all be donating their professional fees to the game.

All proceeds raised that evening to the ADDF.

UPDATE:

Thanks to the support and generosity of fans in attendance and the Long Beach Varsity Softball team, the annual benefit game raised $6,000 for Alzheimer’s Drug Discovery Foundation!
