For 45 years, a variety of groups have held volleyball and softball games across the state to fundraise for Easterseals Massachusetts. Sports like pickleball, wiffle ball, and cornhole are also growing in popularity and are a great way to bring people together in support of ESMA programs! Groups of at least nine participants are recommended, with a majority of teams having around twelve players.
