This year's game will feature players like DeSean Jackson, Jordan Howard, Zach Ertz, Vinny Curry, and Brandon Graham.

There will also be a home run derby and a silent auction before the softball game.

All of the money raised benefits Carson Wentz's AO1 Foundation. Last year's softball game sold over 25,000 advanced tickets and raised over $850,000 for the foundations Outdoor Program, the Haiti Sports Complex, and the Thy Kingdom Crumb Food Truck.

The event will kick off at 6:30 p.m.
