PITTSFIELD, Mass. — The 6th Annual DZ24 Wiffle Ball Tournament and Raffle Fundraiser is scheduled to take place on Saturday, Oct. 18, at Deming Park in Pittsfield. 
 
This event serves as a fundraiser for the Dave Zerbato Scholarship Fund, which provides financial support to graduating seniors from both Pittsfield and Taconic High Schools. All proceeds from the day will benefit the fund.
 
Teams of four will compete in a tournament structure, with competition brackets organized by age. Prizes will be awarded to the winners in each age group.
 
The cost to participate is $10 per person or $40 per team. The deadline for team registration is Thursday, Oct. 16. Teams must register by emailing Justin Hopkins at justinhop@nycap.rr.com and providing their team name, members, and all members' ages.
 
In addition to the tournament, event T-Shirts will be sold. Pre-ordering is highly recommended to ensure availability, as quantities will be limited. The pre-order cost is $20, while the price increases to $25 on the day of the event. Those pre-ordering should indicate the number of shirts and the adult sizes required in their registration email. The event will also feature the sale of raffle tickets, food, and beverages.
 
Payments—including registration fees and purchases—can be made via cash, PayPal, check (payable to the "Dave Zerbato Scholarship Fund"), or Venmo (@davezerbatoscholarship). For those unable to attend but wishing to support the cause, donations are also strongly encouraged.
 
Organizers note that in the event of rain, the tournament will be moved to an alternate location at Rip City Academy in Dalton.
