This year’s event promises to be even more thrilling with new participants such as former Boston Red Sox star Jon Lester and ex-NFL player Joe Pavelski joining established celebrities like comedian Brian Baumgartner and reality TV personality Wells Adams. The tournament, scheduled from June 19-22, aims to raise at least $100,000 for local beneficiaries including the MaineHealth Barbara Bush Children's Hospital and The Dempsey Center.
