Sierra Conservation Center (SCC) hosted a charity softball game, raising almost $9,000 for Special Olympics of Tuolumne County.

The game was between the Tuolumne Ravens and incarcerated teams at Sierra Conservation Center on Facility C.

A food sale was conducted on Facility A, B, and C. Over 1,000 pizzas were sold, raising $5,593.

Pizza Factory supplied the pizza and donated $2,430. Meanwhile, the SCC incarcerated population donated $600.

The total amount raised was $8,622.

All the donations from the softball game fundraiser went to the Special Olympics of Tuolumne County. The funds assist the organization with transportation costs.
