The Joe Sommer Memorial Benefit will be held noon-8 p.m. July 24, rain or shine, at Tri-Boro Sportsmen Club, 21st and Canal streets.

Sommer was killed May 25. A 1985 graduate of Northampton High School, he continued his Konkrete Kids pride as a wrestling coach and mentor to many children.

The event is being organized by Lehigh Valley Community Benefit, of which Sommer was a part since the group’s start in 2010.

There is a fee to attend the benefit. Children 12 and under will be admitted at no cost.

A nonstop, escorted motorcycle ride, hosted by Pocono Harley Davidson, will kick off the event.

Highlights of the day include live entertainment by Social Call and Trick Stacy, face painting by Dazzling Doodles, a photo booth by Say Cheese and a performance by Huffy the Clown.

Proceeds from the event will be used as a wrestling scholarship in Sommers’ name as well as toward various Lehigh Valley charities.
