Adam Cantu Memorial Softball Tournament
November 14th, 2021 | Camp Sienna | Missouri City, TX

Stupid Strong is pleased to announce the expansion of our fundraising efforts to the greater Houston area. Join us for the Adam Cantu Memorial Softball Tournament on November 14th as we celebrate Stomach Cancer Awareness month and raise money for critical gastric cancer research. The event will consist of a max 30-team co-ed slow pitch tournament for team participants (18 and older) and kid friendly activities for the entire family including a balloon artist, face painter, and more. Enjoy food trucks, live music by DJ Ric, and our sponsor tents as the teams advance to the championship round. Various gift baskets will be raffled throughout the day, and at the conclusion, we will raffle off Adam’s 2019 XL1200X Harley Davidson motorcycle (new condition, 100 miles). Team entries, individual tickets, and sponsorship opportunities are now available.

In 2019, Adam and Charlotte Cantu of the Houston, TX area were introduced to Stupid Strong during an annual advocacy event for stomach cancer awareness in Washington D.C. – from there, this Texas-based family stayed connected with the cause. Adam fought a valiant 10-month fight as a Stage IV stomach cancer patient and was adamant about continuing the fight after he was gone. Charlotte is now taking the lead to host the first ever charity softball tournament in Sienna, a master-planned community, just southwest of Houston, TX, to honor Adam’s legacy and to raise much-needed funds for gastric cancer research and advanced treatment options.

Thank you for a wonderful night of giving and being together!

On November 6th at Hotel Vin in Grapevine, Texas, we celebrated and embraced each other and our important cause. Because of you, we were able to raise nearly $300,000 toward supporting gastric cancer research initiatives.

Thank You To Our Sponsors:

Thanks to all our sponsors, golfers, volunteers and dinner guests for your participation in our most successful charity golf tournament yet. I am so grateful for the amazing turnout this year and proud of the funds we were able to raise in partnership with MD Anderson Cancer Center as we continue our efforts to end stomach cancer. I look forward to seeing you all again next year!
