Coaling Ballpark will soon host a kickball tournament set to benefit foster children in the area.

Saturday, October 11th, 2025, the Coaling Baptist Church Defend The Orphans Ministry will host their 5th Annual kickball tournament fundraiser at Coaling Ballpark.

According to a press release sent to Townsquare Media, the money raised will go to meeting the needs of local foster children. Things like school trip fees, band instruments, school supplies, and Christmas gifts are among the needs for the children.

This double elimination tournament will feature trophies for the winners but the main focus is to help the children in need.

Any group can build their own team and come play for this cause. Each team's fee is $150. There are also sponsorship opportunities through a three tier sponsorship program. Gift cards, and merchandise with company logos are also welcome to be used for the winning team's gift basket.

If you're willing to participate you're being asked to call Coaling Baptist for more information at 205-556-2775 or email at office@coalingbaptist.com.
