The 2022 FayRo Charity Classic is just around the corner! We're excited about this year's tournament and hope you will join us in Fayetteville, AR for a weekend of great fastpitch softball. Hope to see you there!
The FayRo Charity Classic is an annual girls fastpitch softball tournament hosted in Fayetteville, Arkansas, by the Rotary Club of Fayetteville. We strive to provide a high quality, family-friendly tournament experience for all of our players, teams, coaches, umpires, and their families. Additionally, all sponsorships and proceeds from the tournament are used to improve the lives of people throughout our community and the world. Examples include:
- Rotary Club of Fayetteville Playground at Mt. Kessler Regional Park;
- Scholarships for area students to attend the University of Arkansas;
- Dictionary Project for area 3rd graders;
- Local and international nonprofits that promote peace, fight disease, provide clean water, sanitation and hygiene, saving mothers and children, supporting education, growing local economies, protecting the environment and ending polio forever.
- Improvements to area softball fields.
The 2022 FayRo Charity Classic is a USSSA sanctioned event. We welcome teams from anywhere to compete, with most teams usually coming from throughout Arkansas, Oklahoma, Kansas, and Missouri. The tournament is a 3-game minimum guarantee. For additional information on registration, Fayetteville, and sponsorships, please read below!
