In Chicago, softball is a big deal! Well, it gets even bigger this Saturday when Ryan Dempster and other former Chicago Cubs and Chicago White Sox players team up to support the charities of their former employers in the second annual LAP Chicago All-Star Softball Challenge. And the Dempster Family Foundation will be there to help raise awareness for 22q!

Larry A. Pogofsky, one of the original White Sox investors, was a die-hard baseball fan who loved and respected every player that had the privilege to put on a major league uniform. The Pogofsky family has partnered with CBS Chicago and 670 The Score to honor his legacy through his love for the sport. The second annual LAP Chicago All-Star Softball Challenge will be held on Saturday September 6th, 2014 at the Schaumburg Boomers Stadium in the northwest suburbs. Join us as we raise money for charity while witnessing the North Side / South Side rivalry in a one of a kind way. All proceeds will benefit Chicago White Sox Charities, Chicago Cubs Charities, and local children’s charities.

Tickets start at $15 and include general admission into the game. VIP tickets are available and include priority seating, a premium item, and a hot dog! Kid’s Clinic, for kids ages 5-14, tickets are also available for purchase and include a one and a half hour coaching session with some of Chicago’s greatest players, either GA or VIP admission into the game, and an official Chicago White Sox wooden Louisville Slugger bat from Comcast Sportsnet and the Bulls/Sox Academy.

Gates open at 1:30 pm for Kids Clinic participants and their families. All other ticket holders may enter at 3 pm.

So if you're looking for something to do this weekend, stop by and say hi and cheer on your favorite former Cub!
