Field of Dreams Raises Funds for Alzheimer's | Fayetteville Arkansas News

This past weekend, the sixth annual “Perroni Field of Dreams” Little League Tournament in Fayetteville, Arkansas, smashed its fundraising goal—raising $50,691 to support Alzheimer’s research, honoring Sam Perroni’s late wife Pat. Over 110 ten-year-olds battled it out over two days, while families enjoyed horseback riding, sibling activities, and affordable concessions—all free to attend thanks to local sponsors and donations. The Patricia Ann Perroni Foundation accepted the check on-site, proving every dollar counts. Bonus: a petition to get Hall of Famer Bill Freehan into the National Baseball Hall of Fame launched at the event, with organizers heading to Michigan to gather signatures. And the dream’s growing—another field opened in Waterford, Michigan, with plans to expand nationwide and raise $1 million annually for Alzheimer’s research, keeping Pat’s legacy alive.
