More Than a Tournament
The Justin Sheftel Memorial Tournament is a full day of community, family fun, and meaningful tradition.
In addition to 16 teams competing in softball bracket play, guests of all ages can enjoy activities throughout the venue, including food trucks, face painting, tie-dye, and free lawn games.
Mocktail Competition
Co-sponsored by Lehigh Valley Restaurant Group
Our Mocktail Competition is one of the day’s most popular traditions. Guests can sample creative alcohol-free drinks, vote for their favorite, and enjoy the fun of friendly competition.
More importantly, this experience reflects an important part of Justin’s legacy: raising awareness about the dangers of underage drinking and drinking and driving.
Silent Auction, Raffle & Merchandise
From 10:00 AM to 3:00 PM, visit the silent auction and 50/50 raffle for the chance to win sports memorabilia, restaurant gift cards, local experiences, and more. Prize pickup begins at 5:00 PM.

Youth Skills Clinics
Co-sponsored by St. Luke’s University Health Network
A highlight of the day is our Baseball and Softball Skills Clinics, created to honor Justin’s love of the game and inspire young athletes.
Led by famous Phillies pitcher, “Lefty” Steve Carlton, along with local coaches and players, this year’s clinics include:
- Baseball for Grades 6–12
- Baseball Grades 4–5
- Softball for Grades 5–8
These clinics offer young players a chance to learn, grow, and be part of something special.
