The sun was shining down on another successful baseball tournament in support of ProAction’s Hamilton Chapter. Four teams, entered and coached by Hamilton police officers, included a mix of police and youth players that provided the opportunity for the young people to interact with the officers on a fun and positive level. The Round Robin Tournament was a great success! Cheers and encouraging chants from fellow team mates echoed from the players’ dugouts and side lines. ProAction and the Hamilton Police Service provided pizza, snacks and drinks throughout the day. The day capped off with an awards ceremony that celebrated each participant’s achievements and teamwork.  The excitement levels of the kids never faltered and each youth was thrilled to receive their blue ribbon medals.

The event’s great success was possible only through the generous contributions of ProAction’s donors, sponsors and partners. On behalf of ProAction Cops & Kids and our Hamilton Council members, we would like to thank those who helped to support the baseball tournament.  Your investment will help us continue to support police-led programs for at-risk youth throughout Hamilton.

This tournament is one example of the many programs ProAction provides to ensure that all the youth who have the passion and desire to play team sports have an outlet to do so.
