More than 130 softball players raised approximately $12,000 this week during the inaugural Partner Ships In Action Softball Classic at the Roselle Park District.
The charity softball tournament game is an initiative of Aga Khan Foundation U.S.A., which raises funds and awareness to eliminate hunger, disease, illiteracy and poverty in Africa and Asia.
Ten teams from all over the Chicagoland area played in a round-robin tournament Sunday, with team Wise Guys from Aurora taking the first-place title.
Second place went to team Parrot Media from Schaumburg.
Both teams will collect their trophies during the Aga Khan Foundation’s annual Partnership Walk Aug. 24 Millennium Park in Chicago.
