The Sturgeon Bay High School softball program will host its first Jim Benesh Memorial Fundraiser later this spring, combining competition on the field with support for a local cause.
The event is scheduled for April 28 at 4 p.m. at PBI Field, in Sturgeon Bay, where the Clippers will take on the Southern Door Eagles in a doubleheader. Organizers say the fundraiser aims to raise awareness for multiple myeloma while supporting those impacted by cancer.
Proceeds from the event will largely benefit Door CANcer, with 95 %t going toward assisting local individuals in their cancer journeys. The remaining 5 % will support the softball program.
Sturgeon Bay Athletic Director Johnathan Dupuis credited head coach Hailey Benesh for launching the effort.
“Coach Benesh came up with the idea last year. Being her first year as head coach, we put a pause on it until this year,” Dupuis said. “She really got everything up and running already for the game on April 28th.”
“We are very excited to begin a new annual tradition that gives back to the community.”
