Sweetser’s 3rd Annual Battle for the Brook Softball Tournament was a home run for our mission, bringing together community partners for a day of friendly competition, teamwork, and giving back at Rotary Park in Biddeford.

This year’s tournament raised an incredible $11,000 to support Sweetser’s mission of providing hope and healing to children, adults, and families throughout Maine.
Four teams stepped up to the plate this year: Maine Molecular Quality Controls (MMQCI), Pond Cove Millwork, @nikelprecision and Keith’s Meter Service. We’re grateful to every player, supporter, and donor who helped make the tournament such a success.

Congratulations to Pond Cove Millwork, who had an especially impressive showing, taking home both the title of Tournament Champion and Top Fundraising Team! Their commitment on and off the field helped make a meaningful difference for the people Sweetser serves.

Events like Battle for the Brook are only possible because of the generosity of our community. A special thank you goes to @hannafordmkts, Saco House of Pizza, and @firehousesubs for donating food and drinks to keep our players and volunteers fueled throughout the tournament.

Thank you to everyone who helped make the 3rd Annual Battle for the Brook a success. Your support goes far beyond the softball field—it helps Sweetser continue providing critical behavioral health services and creating brighter futures for Mainers.
