The Mitchell Fraser Memorial Slo-Pitch Tournament
Mitchell meant so much to so many people. In March 2001, shortly after his passing, his cousin, Jennifer, proposed that we hold a Memorial Slo-Pitch Tournament in his memory to raise money for Neuroblastoma research at Sick Kids Hospital in Toronto.
We held our first tournament in May 2002. It consisted of eight teams made up of family and friends. From that tournament, which was organized over a span of five weeks, we secured over $5,000 in prize donations and raised $7,500.00.
Our second tournament in May 2003, generated $17,500.00. Our third in May 2004, generated $19,100.00 and our tournament in May 2005 generated $17,250.00.
In November 2004, we were honoured with a plaque on the Donor Wall of Honour at Sick Kids. The plaque reads "The Mitchell Fraser Memorial Slo-Pitch Tournament" and can presently be found at the Sponsor Level ($25,000-$49,000). Now that we have raised $61,350.00, Sick Kids will have to move the plaque to the next level on the Wall.
