Pink Strong Woman’s Worlds and West vs East In Memory of Ryan Kinnan

I am hosting 2 huge community Fundraiser events in October. The first one is the Pink Strong Woman’s Worlds Adult Softball tournament. This tournament brings women from many different states here to Kennewick, Washington who have cancer, survived cancer or have lost a loved one to cancer. The night before this tournament begins, I host an annual Survivor Game. This game consists of two teams of 24 randomly drawn women who either have cancer, have survived cancer or will be representing someone that is fighting cancer or they have lost to cancer. One team will be coached by the police department and the other will be coached by the fire department, while many members in our communities come together to support and cheer these women on during this game. This game takes place at 6:30 pm and is located at the Southridge Sports complex in Kennewick, Washington.

The other event is the WEST vs EAST Coed Worlds Softball Tournament in Memory of Ryan Kinnan (My son) who recently lost his life on July 19th, 2023, in a tragic motorcycle accident shortly after his 18th Birthday and 2 months after his high school graduation. This tournament is dedicated in his name and will take place October 21-22nd, 2023 at the Southridge sports complex. Our mission in celebrating Ryan is to provide motorcycle safety awareness for our young riders in the tri-cities and surrounding areas, while playing the sport we love. We are dedicated to advocate that ALL lives are important if we would just LOOK TWICE. Some states don’t even require these riders to wear helmets and have very laxed laws to protect them or the drivers around them. It is time someone helps make a change that could potentially save someone’s child or family member.
