Steven Koszman hasn't added a story.
My name is Steven Koszman and I proudly plan and promote this charity event. I work a day job managing a care home for adults with intellectual disabilities and have spent the past 5 years as head coach of the Tigers Slo-Pitch team for Special Olympics Saskatoon. Although we all live with different levels of abilities, recognizing that ability in each of us is a skill that I cherish.
Slugfest Charity Slo-Pitch started a number of years ago as a simple homerun derby called Slugfest. In order to keep the event growing I added a tournament to the program. Once the event gained more popularity, we started to support local charities.
Our first charitable contribution was to donate hair and raise money to support families fighting cancer. I myself have donated my hair 3 times and each year we have new volunteers to do just that. One of the first supporters of this event was Kaz Andrews, a fellow slo-pitch player that passed away from cancer in 2011. A very memorable moment and story is that Kaz became a father on the night of Slugfest to a beautiful baby girl.
Once I started coaching slo-pitch for Special Olympics I decided that supporting their non-profit organization would be a great idea. We could use the event to build our community by including our Special Olympics athletes in the tournament, raise awareness for the organzation, and support them financially as well.
This year our plans include 4 teams from Special Olympics in the tournament, 2 teams from Saskatoon and 2 teams from Regina. I am asking for your support to make this the best possible event for the athletes. Money raised will be used to purchase prize packages for the teams and pay for their expenses to travel to the event.
I want you to know that any financial support you can provide is appreciated. Please consider making a donation to support our athletes and friends.
