How to get involvedEnter or sponsor a team of employees to play in the tournament. A Play for GateWay is unlike any other softball tournament in that the name of the game is to bribe the umpire in order to get the win! Anything goes- want a single turned into double, make your opponent bat with a pool noodle, or round the bases on a tricycle? Just show us the money! A Play for GateWay is a fun family event
Sponsor the tournament. This is GateWay's only annual fundraiser. Sponsor generosity enables us to raise nearly $30,000 each year for therapeutic services, vocational opportunities, training, community life skills, and other supports. As a sponsor, your business receives recognition throughout the weekend including radio mentions and signage that will be heard by thousands of listeners and seen by hundreds of spectators! |
For more information on any of these opportunities, please contact Courtney Driscoll (269) 487-9830 or email directly at cdriscoll@gatewayvro.com |
Our annual fundraiser supplies funding for special projects used to up-skill and engage with our participants. Each year we host a wacky game of slow-pitch softball in order to spread our vision and mission with local businesses as well as showcase our program participants.
