RENO, Nev. - Nevada Football and regional law enforcement partners invite the community to attend the Third Annual Nevada Football v. The Law All-Stars Charity Softball Game and Battle of the Badges Charity Softball Tournament on Saturday, June 13 at Don Weir Field at Peccole Park.
This free, family-friendly event will bring together first responders, student-athletes, and the Northern Nevada community for a full day of softball, fun, and fundraising in support of two impactful organizations: Northern Nevada Concerns of Police Survivors and Northern Nevada Trauma Intervention Program.
The event will feature an all-day Battle of the Badges softball tournament between local law enforcement agencies, culminating in a special marquee matchup between Nevada Wolf Pack Football and the Northern Nevada Law Enforcement "The Law" All-Stars.
"This event will showcase the very best of Northern Nevada through teamwork, service, and community. We are proud to stand alongside our hometown team, Nevada Wolf Pack Football, and our regional public safety partners for a day of friendly competition to support incredible local nonprofits, Northern Nevada COPS and the Northern Nevada Trauma Intervention Program. From the Battle of the Badges to our matchup with Nevada Football, this event is all about bringing people together and having fun while giving back to our community. Our team is ready to defend the title and we look forward to seeing the stands filled with community members, families, and Wolf Pack fans," said Washoe County Sheriff Darin Balaam.
