During the event we will raffle off baskets as well as holding a 50/50 raffle. Half of the proceeds will go to our 12u Twister team to support them during the spring season and the other half will be donated to the Plainfield Athletic Clubs Angels division. Angels baseball is a team designed for special needs children between the ages of 5-18.

Afterwards the Twisters will be hosting a round robin where they will play against 3 other teams! There will be food, prizes, and a whole lot of softball to enjoy.
