Key Dog Strikeout Cancer Classic raised funds for childhood cancer, Pilots say
Summary
Pilots representatives reported raising over $14,000 for the St. Baldrick's Foundation at a new charity event and described community contributions to the effort, including participating college teams and shaved heads as part of the fundraiser.
Peninsula Pilots operators told the council that the first annual Key Dog Strikeout Cancer Classic, held at War Memorial Stadium, raised more than $14,000 for childhood cancer research.
"I'm proud to say we raised over $14,000," Henry Morgan said, noting that part of the funds came from players and coaches who participated in a head‑shaving element and that proceeds went to the St. Baldrick's Foundation. He named participating programs including Old Dominion University and Virginia Commonwealth University, which played at the fundraiser.
Morgan said $4,400 of the total came from a small subset of participants described in the presentation and emphasized the community and media interest in the event. No formal budget or accounting documents were presented during the Spotlight portion of the meeting.
