An annual summer event will debut this July 15 when Rockford Rivets Stadium hosts a Celebrity Softball Game to benefit the Rockford Boys and Girls Club that will feature “the most iconic names in Wisconsin and Chicago sports.”

According to the press release from the Rivets, this charity event will feature “two teams of legendary athletes” doing battle in a thrilling softball showdown, all for a great cause.

I have had the pleasure of hosting 20 similar events throughout the country and each has been wildly successful. Where else can you get close to so many sports stars and even have a chance to meet them in person. -Steve Malliet, Rivets President and General Manager
