Girls Majors Fastpitch Softball League Division

The Home Run Card

The League continues its Field Improvement Fundraising to support the continuing refurbishment of fields and building of new fields. The Home Run Card will be a major fund-raiser for this Fund. Each player will purchase two $5.00 Cards along with the $45 registration fee. The player may sell these valuable discount cards and keep the proceeds of the sale. This provides each player the opportunity to participate in the development of facilities which all will enjoy.
