FOR IMMEDIATE RELEASE
Hawai‘i County Welcomes Senior Softball Players
The Hawai‘i County Department of Parks and Recreation is pleased to
welcome kupuna athletes from Canada, California and throughout
nd
Hawai‘i who are coming to Hawai‘i Island to play in the 2 annual
Mayor’s Cup Senior Softball Tournament.
Games will be played at Maka‘eo Park, also known as Old Airport Park,
in Kailua-Kona starting Monday, January 20, and wrapping up Thursday,
January 23. The public is invited to watch players competing in the
tournament’s two age-group divisions: 60 years and older; and 70 years
and older. Admission is free.
Tournament fees will go to the nonprofit Hawai‘i Island United Way for
use in supporting dozens of local health and human service
organizations. Last year’s inaugural tournament was a tremendous
success, and this year’s event promises to deliver an even greater
financial boost to Hawai‘i Island’s less fortunate.
The Department of Parks and Recreation humbly asks residents to
serve as good hosts by showing aloha for the visiting senior softball
players and their families.
For more information, please contact Jason Armstrong, Public
Information Officer, at 345-9105 or jarmstrong@co.hawaii.hi.us.
