'Ceasefire Sunday' continues decade of bringing Mobile communities together through kickball
MOBILE, Ala. (WKRG) — Mobile Police and members of the community team up to bring peace through a kid's sport. 'Everybody out here trying to just enjoy life and have a safe and peaceful day,' Kickball president Robert Williams said. Organized by Mobile Public Safety and community members, 'Ceasefire Sunday' is a kickball tournament at Doyle Park, bringing together teams from different parts of Mobile like the Campground area, Orange Grove, and Roger Williams. 'So that people come together and coexist with the police force to have a good time,' Dwight Williams with Ceasefire Sundays said. Organizers say this is a chance to bring people together with public safety officials. 'I hope that people can see the policemen and firemen are regular people when they come out here. They want to visit. And this is what we're trying to show because we're trying to understand it. How can you police the area and you don't know anyone in the community?' Williams said. It's a day of peace with some serious play. 'Because they wanted to show that there are different neighborhoods in this part that they can come together and have a good time like a community should be,' MPD Sgt. Nathaniel McCarty said. Sunday's game included teams from Mobile Police and fire, as well as community resources like USA Health, with people making a day of it at the park. Copyright 2025 Nexstar Media, Inc.
