Supporting the Sasso Softball Tourny again
I am proud to announce that I'll be again supporting The Mark Sasso Foundation annual softball tournament on August 23, 2025, in Hawthorne.
The event, which has become a highlight of the local summer calendar, will once again bring together ESPN All Stars, featuring Don La Greca, local softball teams, and Hawthorne community leaders.
I try to stop by every year to take photos documenting the event and write for TAPinto Hawthorne.
"We've been doing this for a long time. During this period, 16 years together, we've all experienced a lot of things over this time: beautiful things, births, graduations, marriages, wonderful things, some not so wonderful, major illnesses, passings, but we continue to gather once a year to celebrate Mark and raise money for the kids."

“We give the money to the kids,” said Sasso. “It's a scholarship foundation for anyone who is a Hawthorne resident graduating high school and going to college.
“It's just amazing to me that this little tiny fundraiser that spawned from heartache has grown to what we see today,” said Sasso. “We turned the heartbreak into a positive and pay it forward by helping children year after year.”
