This page is to keep everyone up to date on Jake's softball tournament and to save all our memories!

The Jacob Bendel Memorial Softball Tournament is an annual event held in memory of Jacob William Bendel. Jacob passed away in July of 2005 from myocarditis at the age of 12. This tournament is our way of keeping his memory alive, while raising funds for the community. Through the years, we have raised money for scholarships, educational programs, and children with illnesses.

We are coming up on our 19th annual memorial softball tournament. It’s a little later then normal this year due to a recent family addition, as Jacobs niece Rosemary was born just a few weeks ago.
She is excited to come celebrate her uncles life next month.
Anyone that would like to donate to our concession stand or basket raffle please contact me as we would GREATLY appreciate any assistance this year.
Thank you all for your continued support and love for our family.
