Robbie Strong Wiffle Ball Tournament Fundraiser

Supporters of the Robbie Strong Fund are planning a

Wiffle Ball Tournament to take place Saturday, July 12th, 2014 at Prairie

Point Park
 in Oswego. All proceeds will benefit the Robbie Strong

Fund which was created to provide support to the local Oswego resident, Matt
Robbie, and his family.


Matt has been battling Hodgkin’s Lymphoma since
February of 2013 supported by his wife, Coleen, and their three children
William, Avery, and Ryenn. His battle has been hard fought including: Six
Rounds of Chemotherapy, a vigorous round of ICE chemotherapy, and bone marrow

transplant.


In an effort to support the family, both emotionally
and financially, the Robbie Strong Fund and community organizers will be aiming
to raise money to help pay for the costly components of an aggressive battle
with cancer and support the family.
