Strike Out Cancer Tournament raising funds for the American Cancer Society

Strike Out Cancer is a two-day tournament held in Gardendale, Alabama, USA, where children aged 5 to 14 years compete in both baseball and softball. The primary goal of the tournament is to raise crucial funds for the American Cancer Society, supporting its fight against cancer. Since its inception, the event has grown in both size and impact, and 2024 marks the 10th anniversary of this inspiring initiative. This year alone, the tournament has raised over $240,000, an incredible achievement that Capital is proud to support as a sponsor.

The event not only raises funds but also fosters a sense of community and sportsmanship among young players. Our very own Kenneth Caddis, Production Manager at our USA facility, plays an active role in the tournament as the assistant coach for the 7/8 U Orioles baseball team, where his son KJ is a proud member of the team. The dedication of local families, volunteers, and sponsors like Capital makes this tournament a special and meaningful way to unite people in the fight against cancer.

As the tournament reaches its 10th year, Strike Out Cancer continues to make a lasting impact, bringing together children, families, and communities for a common cause, proving that through teamwork and determination, we can make a real difference.
