Nearly 300 home runs helped raise $85,903 for Children's Camps International this past weekend. The 2017 Big Hit Slow Pitch Tournament broke multiple records, Dave Thiessen, National Director, explains, adding this year's totals were more than double previous events.

"Winkler is an amazing community," Thiessen says. "The hearts of the people giving were just incredible to see."



He notes one major donor promised to match every dollar donated, even until the end of the week.

The funds will help CCI provide kids in India, Cambodia, Kenya, Fiji, Belize and Mexico an exciting camping experience, while sharing hope through the Gospel. This year's event alone will send 16,700 to camps around the world.
