Darke County United Way with the help of Stebbins Field/GGSA put on the Live United, Play United Softball Tournament on Saturday, July 7, on one of the hottest days of the year.  Four coed teams competed for 1^st place participating in a 2-game round robin with single elimination tournament.  “All participants were wonderful and braved the heat to help so many in need.  The board and staff at United Way are so appreciative that they came out to help the 28 local non-profit partner programs of Darke County United Way.  Their competitive play help us serve over 19,000 members in the community every year including our at-risk youth, those in crisis, those seeking self-sufficiency and our seniors,” said Lauren Henry, Executive Director at United Way.  The United Way was honored to have teams sponsored by Greenville Federal, Scoreboards, Second National Bank, and Whirlpool playing in the charity tournament.  Scoreboards came away with the very close victory over Greenville Federal in the championship game. The final score came in at 5-3.
