Members, thank you for your support for the Scholarship Softball Tournament - as of Friday, August 11th we have filled all 16 spots available for teams. If you would still like to find a way to show support for the tournament, Field Sponsorships are still available.

We're excited for another fun day of softball with all our ACEC/MN friends! Please join us for the 41st ACEC/MN DuWayne "Dewey" Kasma Memorial Scholarship Softball Tournament on Saturday, September 23, 2023, at Andrews Park in Champlin. The event raises funds for scholarships that are awarded each year to deserving engineering students.

Because of field constraints, the tournament will be limited to 16 teams this year. The entry deadline is Friday, September 8, 2023, (unless the tournament field fills sooner).

This tournament will utilize USSSA softballs, umpires, and rules; plan your bats accordingly. Please contact Nick Grage at ngrage@alliant-inc.com with any questions.

ACEC/MN worked with the Kasma family in an effort to remember ?Dewey? by naming the yearly scholarship softball tournament after him. In return, the family annually makes a generous donation in memory of Dewey that will be added to the ACEC/MN Scholarship Fund. DuWayne ?Dewey? Kasma was a registered civil engineer, he graduated from the University of Minnesota and worked his entire career at TKDA from 1963 until his death at age 48 in 1988. He managed the Municipal Department from 1968 to 1976, established TKDA?s Marketing Department, and was named Vice President and a member of the Board of Directors in 1978. He was a member of ACEC, MPWA, CEAM and MSPE.

Please Note: No beverages (other than water) may be brought into the Andrews Park softball complex. The Lookout will supply a cooler checker at the entrance to the softball complex. Small quantities of food will be allowed, but everyone should plan to support the Lookout?s onsite restaurant to the best of their ability.
