media release: Join us in honoring Cheri Maples’ path from the ball diamond to the Diamond Sutra on Mon. June 30, at 6:00 p.m. with the Madison Night Mares.

Cheri (1952-2017) was a powerhouse in the Madison area – from supporting women who experienced domestic violence, to doing anti-racism and restorative justice work as a Captain In the MPD, to her role teaching mindfulness as a dharma teacher in the lineage of Thich Nhat Hanh.

Cheri was also an exceptional athlete, well known as one of the top 2nd base players in rec leagues in WI in the 70’s. Her dream was to play professional baseball, and being pre-title IX meant that was not an option. Instead, she fulfilled her other dreams of getting a law degree & becoming a peace officer.

Join us in celebrating Cheri’s life at this 2nd annual tribute game with the Madison Night Mares. 50% of ticket sales go to Community Shares of WI, which supports many local organizations that were near & dear to Cheri’s heart.
