21st Annual Sheftel Memorial Softball Tournament
8:30 AM – 7:00 PM
Cedar Creek Parkway West, Corner of Broadway & Parkway Road
We are excited to be hosting the 21st annual softball tournament!
There is number of activities planned to celebrate this special day. We are planning to celebrate and honor the life of Justin Sheftel, and to honor those who have been instrumental in starting the tournament or supporting us on this 21st year anniversary.
The proceeds from the tournament are used to cover any and all operational expenses we incur during the year and on the day of the Tournament. However, the sponsorship dollars are earmarked for the scholarship awards to Parkland and Allentown School District students and for contributions to local organizations that focus on providing athletic programs to our underserved youth in the greater Lehigh Valley.
….So let’s PLAY some softball! Lace up your cleats and grab those softball gloves, the 21st annual tournament is upon us!. We are making plans for another great fun-filled day for everyone.
This event is open to the public,
No admittance fee, and lots of family fun!
