Kids and Kubs Challenge City Hall Stars Saturday, February 2, 2019

St. Petersburg Mayor Rick Kriseman’s City Hall Stars will be seeking to continue their winning ways Saturday, February 2, at North Shore Park (901 North Shore Blvd, St Petersburg) when they take on the world-renowned Kids and Kubs at 12:00.

The two teams have been playing tug-of-war with the Mayor’s Trophy awarded annually to the winner of the annual contest. The Mayor's team won 25-15 last year regaining the coveted cup.

The game is always competitive and brings together city employees against an organization that has gained national notoriety for the city throughout the past eighty-nine (89) years. The Kids and Kubs are the oldest senior softball organization in the U.S. going back to its founding in 1930.

The Mayor’s game will follow a preliminary contest with the TASCO Teen Program facing off against the Kids & Kubs. Annually the Teen Program seeks to defeat the “old” guys.

Between the softball contest Kids & Kubs Club Secretary Ed Asay will distribute charitable donations to ten local non-profit organizations including Boys and Girls Club, Daystar Life Center, Habitat For Humanity, Neighborly Care Network, PAL St. Petersburg, Hospice Foundation, St. Petersburg Free Clinic, TASCO Center Based Teen Center, and Clearwater Free Clinic. Since 1981 an estimated $275,000 has been donated by the Club to local charities. Food Donations for the clinics can be dropped off at the Municipal Park game site.
