The 30th Annual Celebrity Softball Classic, hosted by A Special Event, features an exhibition game of Football All-Stars against a Celebrity All-Star Team, and includes favorite athletes from college and professional football and baseball teams, great NBA players, and local media personalities. Concessions and a variety of vendors will be available. Post-event festivities include an autograph session and a SPECTACULAR fireworks display. This fun, family-friendly, celebrity-filled event has been a must-see for nearly 30 years!
The 2018 Celebrity Softball Classic will be held at UC Medical Center Stadium (formerly known as Florence Freedom Ballpark) located in Florence, KY on July 18th at 7:30 pm.
A portion of the proceeds from this year’s event benefits The Dragonfly Foundation, a Cincinnati-based 501c3 nonprofit that helps young cancer and bone marrow transplant patients (from birth to age 30) and their families.
“…TDF was there for us from the very beginning! During our initial week-long hospital stay, they provided us with a bag of essential items (like deodorant, toilet paper, shampoo, and laundry detergent, to name a few). They also sent our son an unexpected package of toys after we made it back home and started the tough journey of chemotherapy, additional inpatient stays, and home care. TDF seeks to bring comfort and joy to young patients affected by cancer and bone marrow transplants, as well as their families, and they absolutely accomplish that mission! In the midst of such scary medical circumstances, it was so nice to have opportunities to “escape” with our family and participate in a wide range of events and activities… Dragonfly has been our steadiest support and second family. We continue to lean on them for encouragement, knowing that we will always have a place within their purpose.” –A Dragonfly Mom
“Dragonfly is a unique organization, completely out of the box… It does things no one else does, and it does it in successful ways that no one would have ever imagined possible.
Dragonfly is a strong presence on the ward and it is a strong presence in the families.”
–Dr. John Perentesis, Director, Division of Oncology and Cancer Programs, Executive Co-Director, Cancer and Blood Diseases Institute, Cincinnati Children’s Hospital Medical Center
