World Of Good Wednesday - Tiffany Howard Memorial Tournament

This week I'm highlighting a local charity event: The Tiffany Howard Memorial Coed Softball Tournament.

---

The 5th Annual Tiffany Howard Memorial Coed Softball Tournament is set for Friday, May 19th through Sunday, May 21st. The games will once again be played on the Glen Ward Memorial Field on Old State Road in Crisfield,MD.

Tiffany Howard was just 16 years old when an auto accident claimed her life in July 2001. She would have been an incoming junior that year at Crisfield High School. Tiffany pitched for the varsity softball team. “It was her favorite sport”, states her mother, Laura Howard. Family and friends could not think of a better way to honor her memory than to organize a softball tournament.

Proceeds from the annual tournament go towards scholarships given in Tiffany’s memory. Because she had hoped to become a physical therapist, scholarships are given to students going into a medical field.

Tournament organizers are looking forward to a fun filled, community spirited weekend. “We have been so blessed by the turn out each year,” said Mrs. Howard. The entry fee will be $125 per team, which will be accepted on a first come basis. Twelve teams will be slotted for this year’s event.

Call Laura or Jeff Howard at (410) 623-2276 to register a team, or to volunteer to help at the tournament.
