The Skinner Strong Open is held every year in honor of Joe Skinner a former standout baseball player from the state of Florida who battled with a rare form of leukemia and tragically passed away in 2016. All proceeds from this event will be donated directly to the "Skinner Strong Foundation" which is still run by Joe's Mother, Father, and Sister Molly to help assist in the fight against leukemia. The purpose and meaning of this event has attracted some of the best organizations in the state of Florida over the last two years. The Skinner Strong Open will be played at the Ballpark of the Palm Beaches (Astros and Nationals ST Complex and Roger Dean Complex (Marlins and Cardinals ST complex). #SkinnerStrong
