Fusion hosting fundraiser

Girls fastpitch team trying to raise money to cover trip to Missouri where they will receive sportsmanship award

A local fastpitch team is hoping to raise enough money so they can attend the presentation of the Musial Award next month.

A fundraiser will be held this Saturday (Oct. 12) at The Wired Monk (18408 64 Ave.). The night will include a live band and karaoke as well as raffle draws for prizes.

The event runs from 7 p.m. to 10 p.m.

The Fraser Valley Fusion 97 girls fastpitch team earned the award for a great act of sportsmanship earlier this summer, as members of the team helped a fallen opponent cross home plate during a playoff game.

The award recognizes great moments and acts of sportsmanship and the Fusion are the first recipient from outside of the United States.

It will be presented by the St. Louis Sports Commission on Nov. 9 in St. Louis, Miss.

The award provides transportation and accommodation costs for two but the whole team is hoping to attend.
