“My father, Larry A. Pogofsky, was the biggest die-hard baseball fan I know,” said Ben Pogofsky, son and founder of the Larry A. Pogofsky Chicago All-Star Softball Challenge, “The LAP Foundation honors his legacy by supporting local Chicago charities and creating new memories for families around the annual Chicago All-Star Softball Challenge.

“As one of the original White Sox investors from the Reinsdorf group, Larry was a die-hard baseball fan who loved and respected the game. The Pogofsky family created this foundation because of his love for the sport and the impact he had on the city of Chicago.

“Baseball has given me memories with my father that will last a lifetime, and there is no better way to celebrate those memories than with this historic charity softball game between former players from our beloved Chicago teams.”
