All proceeds will benefit the Central Pennsylvania Chapter of the Cystic Fibrosis Foundation. This year's tournament will be a double pitch. Following the competition will be a live auction. A bake sale and concession stand will be open all day. Afternoon children's games with prizes also are planned.
Cystic fibrosis is the number one genetic killer of children and young adults in the United States.
The disease causes the body to produce a thick, sticky mucus that clogs the lungs, leading to infections, fatal lung damage and digestive problems. About 30,000 people in the United States have cystic fibrosis. Experts say the median survival age is 32. Marlin Hoover is beating the odds. On Saturday afternoon he made a commitment to his future when he wed Pamela Angeloff of Enola at the gazebo in Boiling Springs.
