GILE, Wis. - The eighth annual Danny B Suicide Awareness Jack and Jill Softball tournament is slated for Aug. 25-26 at Gotta's field in Gile.
The tournament originated as a tribute to the memory of Danny Baross, who lost his battle with depression and committed suicide in 2009.
This year the tournament committee expects to top the $20,000 total that they have raised for Range Suicide Prevention Council over the past seven years of holding the Danny B.
