Fraser Valley Health Care Foundation (FVHCF) raised more than $5,800 during its inaugural Health Care Heroes Charity Slo-Pitch Tournament on June 11 and 12.
A total of 12 teams participated in the event, held at Abbotsford Exhibition Park.
“With our tournament being canceled twice in 2021 due to rain, we finally got to get out on the field and play some ball,” said Leslie Gmur, FVHCF event coordinator.
