Camp for a Cure slated

The sixth annual baseball "Camp for a Cure" for players ages 8 to 15, will take place at Casa Grande High School in Petaluma on Saturday, Nov. 7, with all the proceeds going to the American Cancer Society and the Lupus Foundation of America. Since 2004, "Camp for a Cure" has raised more than $40,000 and this year the benefit event will begin making a donation to the American Diabetes Association. Last year the "Camp for a Cure" included more than 60 top high school and college coaches, as well as professional scouts and players. This year's camp staff includes the Casa Grande coaches, along with Sonoma State University coach John Goelz; Santa Rosa Junior College coach Damon Neidlinger; and pro players Brandon Morrow, a Rancho Cotate graduate playing for Seattle, and Glen Ellen's Tommy Everidge, a 2001 Sonoma Valley High School graduate. Everidge, a former star prep player for the Dragons and collegiate All-American at Sonoma State University, plays for the Oakland A's.
