Description
The Cabbagetown Group Softball League (CGSL) is a non-profit organization that was founded in 1975. Initially comprised of only 4 teams, the CGSL currently boasts 18 teams in 3 divisions of play with membership in excess of 300 women and men. The CGSL also hosts the annual Canada Cup Tournament in July, which attracts players from across Canada and the United States. In addition to playing softball, the League has become a vibrant force in the Lesbian and Gay international community through its annual events, entertainment spectacles, celebrations, volunteer work and charity. The 519 Church St. Community Centre is a recipient for the donation of cash and the sleighful of toys for needy children raised at our annual Christmas party. Past beneficiaries have included the PWA Foundation, Gilda Fund and Toronto Hospital for Sick Children.
