The David Manlove Memorial Tournament offers dozens of all-star teams the chance to play competitive baseball and softball. And while 13 teams will be crowned champion and another 13 teams will be recognized as runner-ups on this memorable, action-filled day of games, the true winner is The 24 Group, which receives 100% of all proceeds from this event to raise awareness about adolescent and teen substance abuse.
 

SUPPORTING THE 24 GROUP

To support the Manlove family's commitment to raise awareness and increase education, OYO has hosted the annual David Manlove Memorial Tournament every year since 2002 (except COVID year). As a result, all tournament proceeds -- totaling more than $65,000 since its inception, including $9,800 in 2025 -- are donated to The 24 Group, a foundation founded by the Manlove family to support families affected by addiction. The donation continues to grow each and every year, in part, due to the expanded silent auction program we have established as part of this tournament.
 

SILENT AUCTION OVERVIEW

This marks the fourth annual David Manlove Memorial Tournament silent auction, where all proceeds are donated to The 24 Group. Our past auctions have featured sporting event tickets, tourism attractions, lodging accommodations, dining gift cards, jewelry, apparel, health and beauty products, sports supplies and accessories, home improvement services, and much, much more. Lastly, OYO is a 501(c)(3) organization so all donations are tax-deductible in accordance with all local laws and guidelines.

The silent auction will take place on Sunday, May 31 from 9 a.m.-6 p.m. at Veterans Memorial Park, the home of OYO and host site of the David Manlove Memorial Tournament. Unfortunately, at this time, we are not set-up to accept any online bids.
 
This year, we are seeking to secure 30 items for our silent auction -- and we're now just four (4) donations shy of that goal.
