Gold sponsors included Leo Kaytes Ford, Jados Farms, Hutchinson Family, Regal Homes & Properties, Vitec Service, Michael Corkum, Carpenter, R. F. Reveley Construction, and Star Collision Center.

The non-profit organization offers girls the ability to compete against other teams in the area, and to play softball with the best. Under the guidance of Tom Ballard and John Rickey, the club will be adding a new level of 12U. If any one is interested in joining, or sponsoring the team, call 987-1347.
