LIVE OAK — Members of Suwannee County Fire Rescue, the Live Oak Police Department and the Live Oak Fire Department joined at First Federal Sportsplex on Saturday for the inaugural “Taking the Field Against Domestic Violence” charity softball game.   

The game was held to raise money for Vivid Visions Inc., a certified domestic violence shelter.   

With many local events taking place on the same day, Executive Director of Vivid Visions, Kathy White, was pleased with the turnout for the inaugural event.

“I think we raised close to $350, but the camaraderie that was present here was priceless,” she said. “These guys and gals were terrific players and their support means so much to us. We are thankful for their hard work and the risk they take each day helping others in our community.

“Thank you to everyone who supports victims of domestic violence in Suwannee County.”

SCFR won the game 20-10 against members of the LOPD and LOFD.

Theresa Mortlock and her grandchildren won the raffle for a Playhouse Shed donated by Elite Outdoor Buildings.
