“Pitch-Out Cancer”, taking place on August 23rd & 24th, 2025, at Crystal Pines Matthiae Field (201360 St. Johns Rd, Mosinee). This will be our first annual event, dedicated to raising funds for the Cancer Care Fund at Marshfield Clinic and this event will attract participants from all over the state for horseshoes and corn-hole players. Originally, this event was planned for last year, but due to my daughter and daughter-in-law’s diagnosis of breast cancer, I was unable to proceed. Now, more than ever, I understand firsthand how critical financial and emotional support is for cancer patients and their families, which is why this event is so important to me and our community.
