Euclid rec kicks cancer

Winning Team -Jeanne's Joynt

The Euclid Recreation Department held its first ever kick-ball tournament on Aug. 21 as a fundraiser to raise money for Pediatric Cancer Research. Kick*It, a non-profit sister organization of Flashes of Hope, assisted the rec department with this event, where four teams helped raise over $500. Teams included youth football players, a coed softball team from the Euclid Friday night league and a team of Euclid residents who wanted to have fun on a Saturday morning and help raise money for a great cause.

The Euclid Recreation Department is looking forward to progressing with Kick*It and holding the tournament every year, making it bigger and better to raise as much money as possible. Donations can still be made by going to http://www.kick-it.org/events/support and scrolling down to Euclid Rec Kicks Cancer game tab. If you have any questions or suggestions for next year, please contact Ben Perpar at (216) 289-8114 (Opt 8).
