Northern ICE and CTW are partnering in support of Elyssa's Mission to host our 1st Annual More Than a Game Celebration. Elyssa’s Mission is a Northbrook, IL-based non-profit organization that provides resources to help prevent teen suicide.

With all of the tragedies we have witnessed with young athletes over the past several years in our sport, as well as other sports, our organizations feel it is important to come together to promote suicide prevention and mental health awareness.

Although we all compete against each other, we are also part of a close-knit community, and we want to ensure that we are developing our young athletes through competition, hard work, positivity, community service, and encouragement, while promoting softball as a safe space for our athletes to have fun, form friendships, and build confidence and positive self-awareness through the game they love to play.

We are proud to bring our organizations together to host this tournament and celebrate our athletes, while promoting a cause that is very important to the health of our sport.

We invite your organization to register for our tournament, and join CTW and Northern ICE to help raise money for Elyssa's Mission to support suicide prevention and mental health awareness.

Looking forward to seeing you at our event!
