The ARK Domestic Violence and Sexual Assault Shelter will be hosting a “Knock Domestic Violence Out of the Park” softball tournament June 17 at 8 a.m. at the Bert V. Massey II Sports Complex. Registration is open now through June 13, with a limited number of spots available. The tournament will be co-ed, and players ages 16 and up are welcome to participate. The cost is $200 per team.

All proceeds will go towards the ARK Domestic Violence Shelter. Prizes will be awarded including the winning team receiving 12 full custom jerseys and the runner up receiving 12 T-shirts. The winner of the homerun derby will receive a bat. Each team will need to pay $10 for umpire fees with the winning team having that fee refunded. For more information, contact Savannah Cox at 643-2699.

The mission of The ARK is to provide safe shelter and comprehensive resident and non-resident services through advocacy, referrals, and education to support and empower victims of domestic abuse and sexual assault, one family at a time. To learn more, visit: www.arkshelter.org.
