The Eighth Annual Michelle Gallagher Co-Ed Softball Tournament originally scheduled for Saturday has been postponed due to adverse field conditions due to the recent weather.
A new date for the tournament is expected to be announced soon. It is set to take place at Heritage Park.
The game is hosted by the nonprofit Michelle Gallagher Memorial Foundation, which raises thousands of dollars each year in scholarships for young athletes. In 2023, the foundation donated $3,000 to the town to support youth scholarships and cover recreation costs for Florence youngsters under age 18. The tournament will benefit the foundation.
Gallagher was a Florence native who died in 2014. She spent her career working at the Pinal County Sheriff’s Office but also took time to coach Little League for 10 years and was an All Stars coach for six years. She also coached the Florence High School junior varsity basketball team with her sister.
Tournament attendees will be able to purchase raffle tickets to win prizes that include a Samsung 55-inch Smart TV, XBOX Series S, a Samsung Galaxy tablet, Grizzly Ice Chest, kids electric scooter, and more. Tickets cost $5 each or three for $10.
Free raffle tickets will also be available for a boy and girl Easter baskets. Children will be able to pick up their free raffle tickets at the ticket booth. A balloon release in honor of Michelle Gallagher is schduled, as well.
Those interested in purchasing raffle tickets can contact Denise Smith 480-213-8350.
