12th Annual Little Silver Men’s Softball Tournament

The 12^th Annual Little Silver Men’s Softball Tournament will be held on Saturday, October 8, with the opening ceremony starting at 100pm at Little Silver’s Borough and Library Fields. The first pitch will be thrown by Abby Viscomi to Mayor Robert Neff Jr. who will also welcome the players and guests. Maddy Monaghan, a RBR VPA student will sing the National Anthem.  A $20 family donation includes hot dogs, grilled chicken and hamburgers, lemonade and ice pops. 

 This year’s fundraiser will benefit Little Silver teenager, Lucas Viscomi, who for the past 10 years has been fighting a rare fatal disease called Metachromatic Leukodystrophy (MLD).   The Viscomi’s health insurance company has imposed changes that significantly reduce their coverage. Funds raised will be used to defray the cost of medications. Each day Lucas must take 20 different meds. The suggested donation for a “Home Plate Sponsor” is $250 and $100 for a “Base Sponsor”.  Donation checks can be written to the Little Silver Family Pharmacy, 10 Church Street, Little Silver, with the notation Lucas Viscomi Account.
