Who are we, and why do we fight ??
This is our Founder and CEO Catherine "Cat" Sardinas and her mother Maria. In 2010 through self-examinations, Maria noticed a lump growing in her breast tissue. She went to her doctor, who ran a battery of test and diagnosed her with Stage 3 Breast Cancer. The fight was on, and the expenses stacked up quickly. Catherine took it upon herself to find help instead, she rose to the occasion and became the help.
Using the game she loves and the community of support around her, she hosted her inaugural Don't Let Cancer Steal 2nd Base charity softball tournament. As support for Maria poured in, so did many stories of other local families fighting for their loved ones against this epidemic. The success of 2016 has continued to grow with the help, love, and support of individuals, community and corporate sponsors such as American Integrated Services, Giosand Environmental Transportation, Nux4Life, STAR Resources, In-N-Out Burgers, Northgate Market and Stacosystems. By 2021, Maria was in full remission, and our event had built the capability to host bigger and more productive tournaments to reach out and help even more families. 2023, we grew to a corporation pursuing our 501c3 and the ability to help ALOT of families. As we expand, everywhere we tell our story, weencounter someone who has been affected by cancer.
Maria's cancer has returned, and we continue to fight alongside her. We appreciate with all our hearts those that come to support every year, and we remain committed to hosting these great events to celebrate fighters like Maria and all those who need our help. We hope to see your faces and hear your fighter's stories. We love each and every one of you from the bottom of our hearts. Without
You, none of this is possible.
