Dear Friends of the Medford Family Network and the MIT4KIDS:

It is my great honor to announce the Medford Invitational Tournaments Group will host a new Golf Event to support the children of Medford and Medford Family Network (MFN).  The Medford Invitational Tournaments (MIT) has been serving the children of Medford and beyond for more than three decades and has been partnering with the MFN for the last three years hosting the annual Holiday Party for Families of Children with Autism and other disabilities.

The MFN is the primary beneficiary of the proceeds raised by this "Tee It Up for Billy" MIT4KIDS Golf Event.  Along with the Holiday Party, the MIT supports MFN's programs and services to build stronger community ties through citywide events, information and referral services, parenting classes, play and learn groups, and so much more.   This year, with your support, we are aiming to raise even more than in previous years.  Your attendance and participation is crucial to our success.  So, please join us and carry on this wonderful Medford tradition!

The Medford Invitational Tournament is dedicated to having fun while playing the game of baseball. Our membership is committed to putting a competitive tournament together, but never at the expense of good sportsmanship and fun. As you experience this two week event, please keep in mind that we are playing a game, which was meant to be a pleasant event. We have taken a lot of time over the winter months to make this a great experience for all the participants, whether they win or lose. You will see that all our volunteers are working hard to insure that all our kids are having a good time. Our goal is to demonstrate that great baseball can coexist on the diamond alongside of sportsmanship and fun. We ask for your support to achieve this goal.

So please leave all your worries and concerns outside the park and join us as we celebrate the way baseball was meant to be played and enjoyed.

Thank-you

Ron Giovino
Tournament Director
