Supported by: American Legion Post #273
Event Overview
Join us at ROC Park for an inspiring evening of softball as the Madeira Beach Firefighters’ “Hose & Bros” take on the USA Patriots Softball Team. Comprised of veteran and civilian amputees, the Patriots travel the country playing able-bodied teams in competitive and exhibition games, showcasing courage, resilience, and determination both on and off the field.
This special exhibition game highlights the USA Patriots’ mission of Serving Beyond the Uniform, while raising support for their annual Kids Camp for amputee children. The camp provides a week-long, all-expenses-paid experience for children ages 8–12 living with amputations or limb differences, where they are mentored by veterans who share adaptive techniques, life lessons, and camaraderie.
