Battle Of The Badges To Benefit ARC Gateway

August 22, 2011

In honor of the 10th anniversary of September 11th, area first responders are teaming up to help others.

First responders from the Escambia County Sheriff’s Office, the Pensacola Police Department and the Pensacola Fire Department will don their baseball caps and cleats for the first annual benefit softball game, the Battle of the Badges, on Saturday, September 10th at Exchange Park in Pensacola, Florida.

The event is an opportunity for members of the community to come out and cheer on the people who protect and serve our community every day and help raise money to benefit ARC Gateway.

Since 1954, ARC Gateway has been providing direct services and support to children and adults who have developmental disabilities. With the help of members, supporters and volunteers, the agency currently serves approximately 900 individuals through a variety of services that begin at birth and continue through the senior years.

The tournament will feature teams from the ECSO, PPD, Escambia Road Prison and Pensacola Fire Department. Games will begin at 10 a.m. on at Exchange Park, 3100 East Lakeview Avenue. There will be activities for kids and Georgio’s first responder pizza eating contest. Attendees are encouraged to bring their stadium seats and chairs and enjoy an afternoon of fun.
