SAN ANTONIO, TX – Peak Events, LLC, is proud to announce that the 2027 Battle at the Ballpark, a college baseball tournament featuring four prominent NCAA Division I programs, has partnered with Folds of Honor – South Texas as its official philanthropic partner.
The Battle at the Ballpark is scheduled for Feb. 26-28, 2027, at the San Antonio Missions' Nelson W. Wolff Municipal Stadium. Participating programs include Air Force, Army West Point, Nebraska and Notre Dame.
The partnership unites a tournament featuring two of the nation's service academies with one of the country's leading organizations supporting the families of fallen and disabled military service members and first responders through educational scholarships.
To support Folds of Honor – South Texas, the Battle at the Ballpark will include a silent auction with college baseball memorabilia and other exclusive items.
