WRA Presented with Care Never Quits Award
WRA Charity Tournament raises money for child advocacy, American Cancer Society.
Athletes represented WRA at meeting on Tuesday night to present the Board with the Care Never Quits Award that WRA received from the American Cancer Society.
WRA held a charity tournament in July at the township’s PECO Field, which brought approximately 180 families to Blue Bell and raised $10,000 for charity. The money raised gets split between WRA, Montgomery County Child Advocacy, and the American Cancer Society.
Mark Kearney of WRA, said the charity tournament is the only true charity tournament held during the youth baseball season.
