Hi we can add the  Inner Shadow as follows

<Grid Height="100" Width="600" Margin="100,100,100,100">
        <Border Background="LightGray" BorderBrush="DarkGray" 
           BorderThickness="1" ClipToBounds="True">
            <Border Background="Transparent" BorderBrush="Black" 
              BorderThickness="1" Margin="-2">
                <Border.Effect>
                    <DropShadowEffect ShadowDepth="0" BlurRadius="10">
                    </DropShadowEffect>
                </Border.Effect>

            <TextBlock x:Name="lblTitle" Margin="5" Foreground="#FFFFFFFF" FontWeight="Bold" FontSize="20" FontFamily="Arial Bold"
        TextOptions.TextFormattingMode="Display"  TextAlignment="Left" TextWrapping="Wrap" Text="Tournament: $3 + $0.30 KO Sit and Go">
            <TextBlock.Effect>
                <DropShadowEffect Color="Black" Opacity="50" Direction="-90" RenderingBias="Quality" ShadowDepth="2" >
