ABOUT KEITH

AND THE TOURNAMENT

Keith Jorgensen tirelessly contributed to baseball in Alberta, coaching youth teams and holding various executive youth baseball positions. He played a crucial role in the development and success of the Prairie Baseball Academy, driven by his passion for a simple idea: giving all kids the chance to play the beloved game of baseball.

​

Keith Jorgensen's impact extends, even now, into the annual golf tournament. He was pivotal in the development of this event, and it was named in his honour after his passing. This tournament has funded over $75,000 annually for players attending the University of Lethbridge and Lethbridge College. You can support this cause by participating as a golfer, sponsor, or both, and also by engaging in the silent auction and 50/50 raffle (see above to enter).

​

The sixth annual Keith Jorgensen Memorial Golf Tournament is set for September 8th, 2023, at the Paradise Canyon Golf Resort, starting at 1:30pm with a shotgun start. The format involves teams of 4 in a typical scramble, with a maximum of 144 golfers. The event offers tee gifts, hole prizes, a 50/50 draw, top 3 team prizes, and a silent auction - historically, the tournament has given out prizes totaling over $20,000 each year! Lunch is provided on the course, and PBA team players will be present at each hole to greet participants and provide a meaningful way to interact with the players.

​

We extend our heartfelt thank you to our sponsors and to those participating in the tournament, silent auction, and 50/50 raffle. Your involvement, along with Keith's legacy, provides the means for our players to further their education and pursue their baseball careers.
