Virginia Beach Kickball Open Announced for May 21st

Registration is open to all teams. Players must be 21 or older to participate.
This year, we will be supporting the Starr Fund. The Starr Fund is a charity which was set-up for a nine year-old girl named Autumn who suffers from Niemann-Pick Type C. NPC is a fatal disease with most patients only living into their early adolescence. Sufferers from NPC are unable to metabolize cholesterol and other lipids properly within cells. This causes many symptoms including an enlarged spleen and/or liver and neurological problems. There are only 500 cases diagnosed worldwide and because of this, treatments for Niemann-Pick Type C disease are limited with care being mostly in the supportive manner.

Autumn has been involved in some out of state trials but they are not readily available. Her parents have had to spend many weekends away because of the trials which have become very expensive. Because of the monetary strain this has put on her family, her mother works two jobs when she wishes she could be home spending time with her little girl. Most recently, the family has had to incur the payment of a customized stroller so Autumn can get around as well as new spleen guards because her spleen continues to enlarge, and this is on top of her daily medicines.

This little girl always has a positive attitude, a love for life and tries her best at everything she does. Please help support the Starr Fund and help Autumn and her family during this most difficult time.
