Joe Kocur Foundation 2017 Charity Softball Classic Aug. 26

Joe Kocur was one half of the Bruise Brothers on the ice, but now the Detroit Red Wings great is all about helping make life better for local children.

He and other favorite current and former Red Wings, Tigers and Lions will come together for the Joe Kocur Celebrity Softball Tournament this weekend. This year's event proceeds will benefit multiple local children's charities.

The big game is Saturday, August 26 at Duck Lake Pines Park in Highland. Gates open at 11 a.m.
