Our Mission

Our commemorative cornhole tournament takes place every summer in the name of Scott Adams Sr. Scott loved helping to host this tournament, and more importantly, he loved that all proceeds from the event are donated to his favorite charity, St. Jude Children's Research Hospital.

For 15 years, Scott, his loving wife JoAnne, and their family have hosted a tournament as part of the Joe Muhl Memorial Foundation. Starting as a bowling tournament, we transitioned to cornhole in 2021, totaling $180,000+ donated over 16 years. In 2025, we hosted our first tournament as the Scott Adams Sr. Memorial Fund, raising $22,021, our highest total yet.

The Scott Adams Sr. Memorial Fund is a 501(c)(3) certified Non-Profit. All donations are 100% tax deductible.

The Cornhole Tournament

This upcoming June will be the 6th year of hosting a Cornhole Tournament, the second as the Scott Adams Sr. Memorial Fund. It is hosted atRinger's Roost, one of Scott's favorite places to go and socialize.

In 2010, Scott and JoAnne started a bowling tournament as an extension of the Joe Muhl Memorial Foundation. They would run this tournament for 11 years, donating to the American Cancer Society and then St. Jude Children's Research Hospital. Due to COVID-19, the decision was made to transition to cornhole in 2021.

In addition to the tournament, there is also a Prize Auction with over a hundred prizes!

Scott L. Adams Sr.

Scott L. Adams Sr. was born on July 10th, 1957 to Anita and the late Raymond F.L. Adams III. He was married to JoAnne Adams for 46 years and they had two sons together, Scott Jr. and Michael.

He worked for the City of Allentown as a Mechanic for over 20 years before retiring. In 1992, JoAnne and him opened Adams' Salads in the Allentown Fairgrounds Market, which is still open today, owned by his youngest son, Michael.

Scott loved hanging out with his friends and family, and enjoying a Miller Lite while doing so. He was very well known and gained the name "Mr. Miller Lite of the Lehigh Valley." Scott also loved the beach, often vacationing on islands or his favorite beach, Wildwood.

Scott passed away at the age of 66 on June 12th, 2024, surrounded by his loving family at Lehigh Valley Hospital. We all miss him very much and will continue to honor him with this Memorial Fund.
