On Tuesday, September 30, in Staten Island, New York, the PAPD 38 Heroes Memorial Softball Tournament was held at Willowbrook Fields, where the JFK Command team edged the PATH Command 6–5 in the final.
The annual tournament, open to active and retired PAPD members, featured nine teams and raised more than $4,000 for the Anthony M. Varvaro Believe Foundation, named in honor of fallen Port Authority Police Officer Anthony Varvaro (EOW 9/11/2022). The Foundation supports youth sports programs in Anthony’s hometown of Staten Island, where he was also a former Major League Baseball pitcher.
The Port Authority PBA thanks all participants and congratulates the JFK team on its victory, and also extends special thanks to Police Officer Chris Knott for his tireless commitment each year in making the tournament a success.
