Despite Monday's rainout, this year’s 2011 All-Star Invitational Tournament is sure to be a home run. Like the New City Little League tournaments before it, proceeds will benefit ARC of Rockland.
ARC of Rockland was founded with the intention of “creating a lifetime of abilities for people with disabilities.” Their programs cater to men and women of all ages with intellectual and developmental disabilities. The money raised will go to these programs.
All tournament games are played at Zukor Park. Monday's games were postponed and will be played Tuesday.
