ABOUT THE GAME
BATTLE OF THE BADGES SOFTBALL GAME
THE RIVALRY BEGINS ON THE FIELD • AUGUST 29, 2026
BATTLE OF THE BADGES SOFTBALL GAME
Step into Iron Maehara Stadium and experience the excitement as Maui Police Department and Maui Fire Department take the field for one of the community's most anticipated traditions. What begins as a friendly softball rivalry is about something much bigger than the final score. It's a celebration of service, community, and the shared commitment to supporting Maui County families facing cancer.
From the first pitch to the final out, the stadium comes alive with hometown pride. Cheer alongside friends and neighbors, enjoy an evening of family-friendly entertainment, browse official Battle of the Badges merchandise, connect with community partners, and experience the energy that has made this fundraiser a local favorite for more than a decade.
While Police and Fire compete for bragging rights on the field, they're united by a common purpose off it. Every ticket purchased, every shirt worn, and every dollar raised helps Pacific Cancer Foundation provide free programs and services for local individuals and families navigating cancer.
The softball game is more than opening day. It's the kickoff to two months of fundraising, community engagement, and Go Pink Awareness Month, inspiring friendly competition that continues long after the final inning.
Whether you're cheering for Team Police, Team Fire, or simply celebrating the spirit of our community, you'll be part of something that truly makes a difference.
Join us for an unforgettable evening of softball, community, and compassion, where every cheer from the stands helps bring hope to families facing cancer right here in Maui County.
