The Ridgefield Sunrise Cottage is home for developmentally disabled adults. The Cottage was built in 2004 through a grass roots project campaign and is sustained through the generous support from the Northern Fairfield County community. The Cottage affords its residents an opportunity to live and thrive in the Ridgefield community in a semi-independent environment. The success of the Cottage has been its ability to help these individuals to grow and progress as functioning adults who are very active in the Ridgefield community.
This year the tournament will feature 12U and 14U girls fastpitch softball teams featuring the Ridgefield Babe Ruth Rebels in both divisions in addition to teams from Darien, East Hartford, Milford, New Canaan, Norwalk, Southbury, Southington, Stratford.
Once again throwing out the first pitch at 9:00AM on the Veteran's Park field will be fireballer Ridgefield First Selectman Rudy Marconi and 2 Sunrise Cottage residents.
