Knights of Columbus Holding Stickball Tournament

The Ridgewood Knights of Columbus Council #1736 proudly presents their inaugural stickball tournament, to be held on Saturday, Sept. 18 beginning at 12:30 p.m. on Passaic Street in Ridgewood (right by the Mt. Carmel church).

The entrance fee is $120 for a team of four and there will be trophies for first, second, and third place. Refreshments, hotdogs and hamburgers will be served. There is also a 50/50 raffle.

Benefit proceeds will go to the Ridgewood Police PBA, the New Jersey Firefighter's Mutual Benevolent Association, and Mount Carmel Church.

"This is a throwback event that will stimulate fond memories of a more nimble and energetic time in our lives," said event coordinator Joseph Hernandez Jr. "In addition, we hope to raise needed funds for Ridgewood's police and fire associations. These organizations are instrumental in developing and implementing anti-drug and alcohol programs for teens, as well as fire prevention efforts for our community," said Hernandez.

Registration is open to all. "We anticipate a good turn-out, and even if you wish not to participate, you can come out and enjoy the event,"  said Brian Conn, head of the Ridgewood Knights of Columbus council.
