Chills & Thrills Mark Play Ball! Double Header
On Saturday, Dec. 10th at 1:00 pm, five hundred daring and caring people ran through Boston’s Back Bay, in Speedos, to raise money for Play Ball! sports leagues. Here’s the video clip from Boston’s Channel 5 in case you missed the event. After viewing you may moved to make a donation!
We sincerely thank the SS Runners for choosing Play Ball! as their charity of choice this winter. The funds from this event go directly to our leagues including:
Jump! Boston Double Dutch Tournament
Also on Saturday students from 10 Boston public middle schools competed for the Jump Boston! trophy in the second annual double dutch tournament. Double Dutch teams compete on speed (jumps per minute); compulsory (a set of tricks down in a specific amount of time), and freestyle. The schools competing this year included the Harbor, Young Achievers, Mildred Ave, Higginson-Lewis, Irving, Orchard Gardens, Rogers, Timilty, Roosevelt and the Murphy.
Thank you to our co-sponsors the Red Auerbach Youth Foundation and Northeastern University’s Sport and Society for running another great tournament and the Kroc Center for hosting!

The run begins and ends at the Lir Bar on Bolyston. The best spots to cheer us on are on Newbury and Bolyston Street. For more information about the 2010 SSRun visit www.ssrunners.org.
