Nelson DeOliveira's legacy lives on!!!
Nelson was an avid and talented softball
player. He would be very pleased at the thought of a softball game being held in his memory.
Especially one dedicated to delivering the message of peace and non-violent
conflict resolution.
Top
athletes, radio sportscasters, and television personalities from the Boston area come out to support this
fantastic event.
The Celebrity team is
challenged by the always competitive and tenacious Nele's Team. These players
are drawn from the many dedicated family and friends who are proud to keep the
memory of Nelson alive.
The always enthusiastic
crowd has plenty to cheer
about! And once the
game is over, kids and adults alike have the opportunity to meet some of their favorite sport
stars, along with being entertained by some very special guests.
It's all done in the hopes of focusing
awareness on the growing problem of violence throughout our country. With the
escalation of violence in our schools, the message of non-violent conflict
resolution has never been more important. Additionally, the funds raised here
help to support organizations who
work to prevent gun and domestic violence.

The Nelson Foundation, make an investment in
Peace!
