ASFL Home Run Derby

Donation protected
Hello,

My name is Mike Slonina and I'm the founder of A Shot For Life. We raise the money both offline through checks and online for the ASFL Home Run Derby through this gofundme page for all of the hitters in our program. To donate in the name of a specific hitter, simply comment their name when making a donation. After making a donation a page will ask if you would like to continue, either click "yes" or scroll down to make the comment in the donation. 

The A Shot For Life Home Run Derby is a hybrid of a highly competitive baseball/softball event and a fundraiser. The money raised by the ASFL Home Run Derby benefits brain cancer research at the Massachusetts General Hospital Dr. Curry Research Lab.

Specifically, we fund an immunotherapy trial where Dr. Curry extracts cancer cells, manipulates them, and then reinjects those cells back into the patient. He has been published in a neuro-oncology journal for his findings that A Shot For Life funded. The funds from this event will be used to further his research and continue the trials that we have been funding since 2011.

To be a hitter selected into the A Shot For Life Home Run Derby is a long and competitive process. While many of our events are open to anyone, the ASFL Home Run Derby is not one of them. Each of our players is highly talented and displays great character off of the field. Each player has committed to raising money as a part of being in our program which speaks volumes about who they are.

The event will take place on September 12th (baseball) and September 13th (softball) at Austin Prep High School. The winner of the event is officially named "The Best Power Hitter in Massachusetts".
