It's an event that Joe de Cico started 182 00:15:44,060 --> 00:15:48,440 four years ago through great loss. He found his passion to support 183 00:15:48,440 --> 00:15:51,880 the Dana Firebrer and Jimmy Fund all proceeds go to that. 184 00:15:52,220 --> 00:15:54,420 There's an old timer's game at 9 o'clock in the morning, 185 00:15:54,420 --> 00:15:59,240 soul pitch softball and then baseball players that are in shape. Follow that for the record. 186 00:15:59,420 --> 00:16:04,780 I'm in the old-timers game. As I said, I was created by Joe de Cico who really works year 187 00:16:04,780 --> 00:16:12,020 around on this. He raised close to $9,000 last year on a $10 person fee. That's how hard he 188 00:16:12,020 --> 00:16:16,020 works at this. He gets corporate sponsorships. The generosity of our community as you all know 189 00:16:16,020 --> 00:16:21,360 is phenomenal small businesses and residents. So for $10, you can play in a game, get a t-shirt, 190 00:16:21,360 --> 00:16:26,900 but also includes in my case two hard, two torn hamstrings and a pulled quadricep, those don't 191 00:16:26,900 --> 00:16:32,420 aren't easy to come by.
