Please join us again this year for the Third Annual Kickball Tournament!  It's our annual effort to raise money in memory of Bill Leaf, a WSYR reporter who was tragically killed by a drunk driver, for aspiring journalism students; and Samantha Reynolds, the Liverpool teen killed in April 2008 by a drunk driver while traveling on spring vacation with her family.

The date of this year's event is Saturday May 17th, 2008 and we are again holding the tournament at beautiful Onondaga Lake Park.  Because of your generosity the last 2 years, we've lowered the entry fee this year to $25 per person.  We will again have food provided by Carrabba's Italian Grill, live local bands, T-shirts for all players and raffles to win some really cool prizes.

Bill Leaf was killed on January 8, 2006 by an allegedly drunken driver who drove the wrong way on I-81 and slammed head-on into Bill's car.  Bill was just 25.  We remember Bill positively and honor his memory with one of his favorite sports, kickball.

Remembering Our Friend - sounds & tribute to Bill Leaf.

50% of the proceeds from the tournament will go towards Syracuse University's CNY Alumni Scholarship Fund to help support an annual journalism scholarship in honor of Bill Leaf.


Samantha Reynolds was killed in April 2008 by a drunk driver driving the wrong way on I-95 in South Carolina.  The Liverpool teen was traveling to Disney World with her family for spring vacation.  She was just 14.

50% of the proceeds from the tournament will go towards the Reynolds' Family in honor of Samantha.
