The rivalry between our two teams is heating up before they even hit the softball diamond, and you have the power to fuel the flames! Track the progress of each team as they race toward their fundraising goal of $25,000. Will the eastern Iowa team soar to victory with their unmatched determination, or will the north-central Iowa team unleash their thunderous support to clinch the lead?

Every donation is a swing toward granting life-changing wishes for children facing critical illnesses. And here's the kicker: The first team to reach the $25,000 mark will earn a special advantage in the game. Picture this: Two home runs awarded before the first pitch, setting the stage for an unforgettable battle on the field.

So, pick your team, rally your friends and let the rivalry begin by making your donation today! Your support fuels the competition and can make dreams come true.
