📣 LegenDeary Memorial Softball Tournament Update

We’re sad to share that we were unable to secure a date for this year’s LegenDeary Memorial Softball Tournament. While we’ll miss gathering with you all this September, please know that we’ll be back in 2026, and we’re already looking forward to it!

Even without the tournament this year, the LegenDeary Memorial Scholarship will still be awarded to a deserving Tourtellotte senior to continue the tradition of honoring Niles’ legacy and love for community.

As Niles’ birthday approaches, we ask that you celebrate his memory in a way he would’ve loved: by committing a random act of kindness. Big or small, it all makes a difference.

And who knows… maybe we’ll get a Red Sox October run to cheer for, too. ⚾️

Thank you all for your continued love and support. Stay LegenDeary and we’ll see you in 2026! 💙

Congratulations to all! And a special congrats to our 2025 LegenDeary Memorial Scholarship recipient, Luke Senosk 🥳We wi...

Thanks to the support of the players, attendees, friends and family of Niles, AND with another extremely generous donation from Paul, Eileen, and Chelsea Deary …

📣📣📣 We are BEYOND excited to announce that The Sixth Annual LegenDeary Memorial Scholarship Softball Tournament raised a total of 💥 $4,500 💥 !!!!!

In our sixth year, we fought the rain, but still exceeded last year’s fundraiser total!! That speaks volumes to the kindness and support of all who contribute to this event and scholarship, year after year. It also speaks to the impression that Niles left on everyone who knew him.

This year hit a little harder for us, as Niles would have celebrated his 30th birthday in August. To say we miss him just doesn’t do it justice. We know so many of you can relate.

To know Niles was to love him.

Please just know, from the bottom of our hearts, how grateful we are for your ongoing support. The LegenDeary Memorial Scholarship will continue for years to come thanks to all of you 🙏🏼💙

That’s a wrap on year 6️⃣! 🥎🙏🏼 Words can’t express how much we appreciate all of the players, umpires, family, and frien...

That’s a wrap on year 6️⃣! 🥎

🙏🏼 Words can’t express how much we appreciate all of the players, umpires, family, and friends who came out to support and make this year a huge success!! We were able to play all of of the games, thanks to our players and volunteer umpires for sticking it out even with a little rain. Niles came through with the weather and we had a great day, just the way he would want it!

🥇 All five teams played great despite the rain, but one team came out on top.. CONGRATULATIONS to our 2023 LegenDeary Memorial Scholarship Softball Tournament Champions, THE HOULEIGANS!!! 🎉🥳

🏆 With this being our SIXTH year, we were SO excited to present the Deary family with a commemorative trophy engraved with the first five winners of the LegenDeary Memorial Tournament. This trophy is a small token of our appreciation to the Deary family for allowing us to honor the amazing person that Niles was with the annual LegenDeary Memorial Scholarship and softball tournament. It is also to remember and thank every person who has played, volunteered, came to spectate, donated, shared, or supported to this event and scholarship in any way over the years. We truly cannot say thank you enough. 💙

🤩 We will be announcing the total funds raised from this year’s event once we sell out of the remaining 2023 LEGENDEARY HOODIES! 🔥 We have a few available in sizes S, M, & L!

📲 Send us a message or email at [email protected] if you want to snag a 2023 LegenDeary Hoodie before they’re gone!

We are not letting anything get in the way of the 2023 LegenDeary Memorial Softball Tournament! Thanks to our players and an incredibly generous local business, we are making the best of this year’s tournament no matter what! 💙

📣 Our teams have graciously agreed to move the start time of the tournament to 8:00 AM! We are trying beat the rain and play as many games as possible.

🎟️ We will still be selling 2023 LegenDeary hoodies, raffle tickets and 50/50 tickets!! We have 26 awesome raffle items and gift cards, and will be accepting Venmo this year:

☔️ Hopefully the weather will cooperate, but if the rain is coming down too hard, we will be moving the fundraiser to a room at United Styles Dance Academy after 11:30 AM. A HUGE thank you to United Styles for being kind enough to allow us a space to gather and draw the lucky raffle winners. Please check them out, like their page, and show them some support!!

🤩 This year is our SIXTH annual LegenDeary Memorial Softball Tournament, and will be the 6th scholarship granted to a senior at Tourtellotte Memorial High School. It is because of the support of the Thompson community, and the beloved family and friends of Niles, that we are able to honor and remember him in such a special way. We appreciate your support of the LegenDeary Memorial Scholarship every year, but especially this year, more than words can say.

We can’t wait to see you all tomorrow!! THANK YOU 🙏🏼💙
