"4 the GIRLS" Touches Every Part of This "Different" Tournament

  When former University of Oklahoma softball pitcher, Stacy Braddock Dunn, moved to Billings, MT with her family of six she quickly started dreaming about how she could help the area's junior olympic softball girls have more opportunities through the game.  After all, the game of fastpitch had radically changed her life for the better.  After a year of living in Billings she stepped out and formed the 14U Billings Blizzard, now 16U, to allow more girls from Little League to jump up to the travel level.  It was a success.  Just last year in 2023, Stacy took the 16U Blizzard to Roseville, CA to compete in what was the entire team's first National Championship; they walked away as the 2023 USA 16U B Western National Champions.  No one could believe a Montana team won it.  This year Stacy is helping a 12U team get off the ground through the Blizzard Fastpitch organization.  Strides for the game continue to be made.  Although she expected to start a tournament in 2025, all of the doors opened to do so in 2024.  This tournament is a dream Stacy has had for years!  When it's so easy to make tournaments about "making money," Stacy just wanted to make a tournament about the girls and their love for this awesome game of fastpitch softball.  Stacy has played fastpitch softball though USA/ASA Softball since 1994.  In this tournament, Stacy takes the best of her experiences and pays it forward.  Thank you to the Billings Umpires Association, Stewart Park, Billings Softball Association, USA Softball of Montana, and the Billings Blizzard Fastpitch non-profit organization for getting behind this tournament to make it a reality.  We hope it blesses the greater softball community!
