摘要：	This year's Pushing Hope Tournament raised more than $140,000 for cancer research.The event, held August 19-21 in Kirk-wood, Mo., dates back to the early 1980s, when Consolidated Grain & Barge began the river industry charity Softball tournament as a way to get the industry together, have some fun and support a charitable cause. CGB later handed over coordination of the tournament to Olympic Marine Company, which held it for nine years.In 1999, MEMCO Barge, which later became AEP River Operations, took over, and continued the tradition for 17 more years, during which time a golf tournament and kickball tournament were added. In 2018, a 5K and 1-mile fun run/walk were included. Under AEP River Operations' direction, the marine industry raised more than $885,000 for charitable causes.In 2015, Ceres Consulting LLC took over coordination of this annual event with ACBL's assistance as a major sponsor. In 2020, the event was canceled because of COVID restrictions, but in December of that year, Marty Shell Ⅲ and his teammates at Five Rivers Distribution in Van Buren organized a fundraiser to benefit Mary Crowley Cancer Research, the tournaments beneficiary. The fundraiser netted $109,500.
