Welcome Letter from LLF EXECUTIVE DIRECTOR
Welcome to the 2025 Lewis-Bethel Invitational!
This tradition continues to grow under the stewardship of LLF Sports, evolving into a celebration of competition, leadership, and legacy.
We are proud to introduce a new highlight: the Women’s Sports and Business Leadership Summit, presented in partnership with Compete Sports Network. Hosted at the HERStory Museum inside AdventHealth Center Ice, the Summit will take place October 8–9 in a setting dedicated to women’s sports and leadership.
This year also marks the launch of the LLF Legacy Circle, where we honor four remarkable leaders with the Team Impact Award, the Unsung Hero Award, the Survivor Award, and our highest distinction, the Pinnacle Award. Each honoree reflects the resilience, leadership, and spirit that define LLF Sports, and their achievements are highlighted in this program as well as across our social platforms.
We are equally excited to debut a new community initiative, Bowling for a Cause, a charity fundraiser on Friday, October 10—another opportunity to come together in support of a greater good.
Thank you for joining us as we celebrate Lewis-Bethel’s legacy and continue shaping a more welcoming future in sports.
With gratitude,
Mashonda Pashcal-Gilmore Chief Executive Director
