Third Annual Celebration of Life

TOGETHER, WE CAN MAKE A DIFFERENCE

July 1, 2025

Dear Friend,

Cancer touches every corner of our lives. Whether it’s a loved one, a colleague, or a neighbor, we’ve all been affected. At EXTRA INNINGS, we believe no one should face this journey alone—and that community is one of the most powerful forms of support.

Founded right here in Central Wisconsin, EXTRA INNINGS is a local 501(c)(3) nonprofit committed to providing hope and resources to families battling cancer in our region. What makes us different? Every dollar raised stays right here at home, helping neighbors in real and tangible ways.

CELEBRATING LIFE. BUILDING HOPE.

Last year’s event was filled with joy, remembrance, and unity. Held at Marathon Park, the day included:

🎾 A competitive and spirited pickleball tournament
🎶 Live music and great local food
🎈 Family-friendly activities including bounce houses, a petting zoo, face painting, and a children’s duck pond
🕯️ A moving Celebration of Life Luminary Service

This year, we’re excited to invite you to join us again on:
