BROADCAST TRANSCRIPT:
A fun but competitive event returns to Southwest Tallahassee this weekend, and it's all for a good cause.
The Horne Foundation is hosting its 5th annual Steals & Slides Kicking Out Homelessness Kickball Tournament.
According to Florida's Council on Homelessness, there were about 831 people experiencing homeless on any given night in 2024 in Leon County.
The funds raised will directly benefit Tallahassee’s City Walk. This group’s founder shares how the value behind these events stretches far beyond just here in Leon County.
"Because Florida is behind California and New York in the homeless crisis. So bringing awareness about the homeless crisis in Florida is what the Horne Foundation and initiative like this do."
This year’s tournament will take place this Saturday at 10:00 a.m. on FAMU DRS Softball field.
Then the initiative will continue the following weekend in Jacksonville.
