Get on base with Project Shepherd by playing in or sponsoring a softball team in the 12th annual “Turkey Tournament,” hosted by the City of Lakewood, held on Saturday, Nov. 21.

There will be two tournament divisions offered: a co-ed division, and a men’s division. 

The co-ed tournament will take place at San Martin Park, while the men’s tournament will be played at Palms Park.

Games will begin at 9 a.m. at both locations, and run throughout the day.
