I am particularly pleased to announce that the raffle surpassed last year's total and we raised over $1200 for the Sunshine League. In addition, Hiscox have agreed to double the money raised for the deserving charity! This event could not have happened without the support of Hiscox Insurance Company (Bermuda) who continue to support the 11&U League, our most popular leagues.
