About Us
In 2011, two families got together to iron out a plan to raise awareness and funds for Cancer organizations that provide cancer research, free programs and lodging for cancer warriors and support. Both families having just lost loved ones to this disease formulated Hope's Turn At Bat. In 2024, Megan Kuhlman took over as the tournament director. We are often asked "who is Hope?" Hope is each and every one of us from the cancer warrior to the caregiver, to the family and friends and to the players that keep the game alive.

What Cancer Cannot Do
Cancer is so limited....
It cannot cripple love
It cannot shatter hope
It cannot corrode faith
It cannot destroy peace
It cannot kill friendship
It cannot suppress memories
It cannot silence courage
It cannot invade the soul
It cannot steal eternal life
It cannot conquer the spirit
AND IT CANNOT STOP OUR GAME!!!
