Batters up! Join Kendall at the Celebrity Softball Game and Home Run Derby Benefittig Kidsporst.

The biggest summer showdown is back! On Saturday, July 12, 2025, the second annual Kidsports Celebrity Softball Game returns to Jane Sanders Stadium in Eugene, Oregon. Sponsored by Kendall Auto Group, this high-energy event brings together athletes from the University of Oregon, the NFL, and other local legends to raise funds for the Emerald Scholarship Fund, helping over 3,900 kids play each year in the mission that All Kids Play.

“Playing sports as a kid helped me develop the athletic and leadership skills I use today as a college quarterback. Kidsports helps children discover the magic of playing, growing and having fun. Kids who move, move the world.” -Dante Moore, Oregon Ducks Quarterback

Headlining this year’s event are Oregon’s own stars — Quarterback Dante Moore and two-sport standout Bryce Boettcher, fresh off his MLB Draft selection by the Houston Astros. They’ll lead an exciting Oregon Ducks Football Offense vs. Defense showdown featuring top talent from the 2025–26 roster.

Adding to the all-star lineup* are NFL legends like LaMichael James, De’Anthony Thomas, and Brady Breeze, alongside former NBA greats Luke Jackson and Luke Ridnour, plus standout Ducks women’s basketball and softball players freshly returned from the Women’s Collegiate World Series. It’s a can’t-miss celebration of Oregon’s athletic excellence, all for a great cause.

“Playing multiple sports as a kid gave me the drive and skills to succeed as a multi-sport athlete. By creating a fun, positive space for kids, Kidsports teaches them valuable life lessons about discipline and teamwork.” – Bryce Boettcher, Oregon Ducks Linebacker & Houston Astros Outfielder
