Every summer, the Artists & Writers Game pits East End artists and writers against each other in a charity softball game to benefit The Retreat, East End Hospice, Eleanor Whitmore Early Childhood Center and Phoenix House. The organization’s President Benito Vila points out that, as this pandemic continues, more and more people are turning to these charities in need.

They are currently preparing a statement about these charities, which could use help from anyone who’s able to donate and support their efforts.

This year’s 2020 Artists & Writers Game is still scheduled for Saturday, August 15 at 3 p.m.
