Our Mission

The Cats & Dawgs Kirkland Classic celebrates and elevates female athletes as the celebrity game and opening ceremonies of the Junior League Softball World Series. 

We unite the Kirkland community to raise sponsorship funds for tournament needs beyond Little League International, and to launch a week of international competition Aug 2–8, 2026, at Everest Park—games  broadcast live on ESPN+.
