Tippah County, let’s come together for a great cause this Saturday.
The USFA Softball Fundraiser Tournament takes over the Tippah County Softball Complex in Ripley on Saturday, October 10, 2026 — a one-day tournament where every dollar raised benefits the Tippah County Good Samaritan Center.
Teams from across the area will compete in age divisions from 7U through 14U. Entry fees are $200 per team for 7U-8U divisions and $250 per team for 9U-14U divisions. There is no PAP fee, and the gate fee is $10 per person. All proceeds go directly to the Good Samaritan Center.
As the center put it this week: “As your local food pantry, we see how much a helping hand means to our neighbors. We are grateful for this opportunity and for everyone helping make it possible.”
Come cheer on the teams, bring the family, and support a mission that feeds people right here in Tippah County.
