Take A Swing at Cancer - History

History

The organization's roots began in 1991 when a small group of volunteers, known informally as the Softball Against Cancer Committee, came together to run a charity softball event.

In the early months of 1998, after several years of successful tournaments, committee members joined forces to incorporate Take a Swing at Cancer, Inc. (TASC) into its own non-profit organization, complete with a Board of Directors and slate of Officers. Incorporating allowed TASC to broaden its beneficiary reach and have a more direct impact on those facing the challenges of battling cancer.

In 2003, Take a Swing at Cancer, Inc. reached a milestone by gaining its official 501(c)(3)status from the IRS.

    Oscar Wilde (1854–1900)

    There is a history in all men’s lives,
    Figuring the natures of the times deceased,

    With a near aim, of the main chance of things
    As yet not come to life.
