Curves for the Cure V Saturday, August 02, 2008, 8:00 AM Details »	7115 E. Curtis Road Frankenmuth, MI, 48734 (248) 514-4931 Website
Description Brian Toth, Rob Durand, Brian and Kevin Stackpoole, have had their fill of breast cancer.None of them have suffered from the disease directly but all of them have felt breast cancer’s ugly tentacles encroaching on their families. Brian Toth’s mother fought it, Rob Durand’s aunt fought it and Kevin and Brian Stackpoole lost their mother, Janine Stackpoole, to the disease in 2000. So how exactly are they fighting back? The young men have formed a non-profit organization called Curves for the Cure. It’s a wiffle® ball tournament to raise money that will help fight what can be a devastating disease. Over the past four years they have raised $14,000 for St. Joseph’s Mercy Cancer Care Center in Ann Arbor and they don’t plan on slowing down any this year. Mark Saturday, August 2 on the calendar. from 8 a.m. until 6 p.m., the men are bringing the tournament from its former spot on Durand’s property in Holly to Frankenmuth. The event takes place on Dave and Carol Johnston’s property along the CassRiver on Curtis Road near the Dixie Highway. Teams are forming now. This particular tournament has room for 24 two-man or two-woman teams. They are also trying to form a senior’s division. Registration for the event is $100 for a two-person team and the money goes to feed participants lunch, dinner and beer. All of the rest of the money raised goes to support the cause. In past years, many of the teams camp out the night before the tournament and some are so tired afterwards they camp the night after the games. According to Toth it’s a really fun event and families are welcome to come out and support their favorite athletes. Joe Toth, a Frankenmuth resident and father of organizer Brian Toth, raves about the event, “It’s a lot of fun. Last year Jim Durand and I played in the senior division and we doubled as the grill-meisters. I have to say it was a bit hard to move for a few days afterwards but it was great fun,” he said. To participate, players need to be at least 21 years old. Teams will have the opportunity to win great prizes from Bose and GanderMountain. There’s a 50/50 drawing, and lots of good food from Subway, Tim Horton’s and other sponsors. The Saginaw Spirits, the GreatLake Loons have also donated tickets for prizes. Trophies and awards are also given for the best, and the not so great “toilet bowl” winners. Everybody wins! The evening caps off with a pig roast.
