South Bronx Men’s Softball Tournament
To Benefit Breast And Ovarian Cancer Charity
Mr. Met To Attend and Mobile Medical Truck to Offer
Free On-Site Screenings

Hundreds are expected to attend as 22 men’s softball teams compete in a Labor Day Weekend tournament that will raise money for SHARE, a 31-year old organization that offers survivor-led support to breast and ovarian cancer victims.

The tournament is sponsored by Verdero CTG, a sporting goods company founded and located in the South Bronx. Verdero CTG is the only Hispanic-owned company licensed by Major League Baseball to sell bats, gloves, and apparel to its players.

Verdero CTG has sponsored the tournament for the last eight years to celebrate the spirit of baseball in the South Bronx. Bats, gloves, t-shirts and other apparel will be for sale with all proceeds going to SHARE. A mobile medical truck will be on site offering free screenings for Diabetes and Glaucoma and providing information on breast and ovarian cancer awareness. Representatives from SHARE and Verdero CEO Jorge Medina will be onsite all day. SHARE cancer survivors will arrive during the afternoon each day to join in the festivities.

Medina, whose mother’s cousin is a cancer survivor and member of SHARE, feels the community is often unaware of where to turn for guidance and education on breast and ovarian cancer.
