  • Mcdonald's Challenger Celebrity Golf Classic Letterhead
    P.O. Box 30031, RPO Parkgate, North Vancouver, B.C. V7H 2Y3 www.challengergolf.ca Dear Golfer, This is a special year for the McDonald’s Challenger Celebrity Golf Classic as we move towards a major milestone in fund raising. After 16 years, we are on the verge of passing the One Million Dollar mark this year which is such a special moment for us after all these years. Currently we have raised over $940,000 for various children’s charities in BC while creating “A Million Memories” for the kids. We would like to invite you to join us in Celebrating “A Million Memories” on Tuesday, June 13, 2017 at the Meadow Gardens Golf Club, in Pitt Meadows. The McDonalds Challenger Celebrity Golf Classic is the largest annual fund raiser for Challenger Baseball in BC. The Challenger Baseball program gives children with cognitive or physical disabilities, the opportunity to enjoy all the benefits of playing organized baseball “In a league … On a team … In a uniform”, just like their able-bodied peers, while creating “A Million Memories.” It is because of your participation, donations and generous sponsorships that we are able to celebrate “A Million Memories” with all proceeds staying here in BC going to support various children’s charities across the province. The main beneficiary is the BC Challenger Baseball program, but we also support the Canucks for Kids Fund, Ronald McDonald House, and the Vancouver Canadians Baseball Foundation. This event is well known as a fun filled day of “scramble” golf and socializing, while raising funds for some great charities.

  • 2018 FSL Program 2Nd Half S
    EDITOR-IN-CHIEF: DANIEL VENN GRAPHIC DESIGN: ALLASYN LIENECK PHOTOGRAPHY: ALLASYN LIENECK, JIM GOINS MiLB LETTER FSL LETTER Dear Fans: On behalf of Minor League Baseball and the Dunedin Blue Jays, I want to welcome you to Dunedin Stadium. It is great to see you at the ballpark for another exciting season of Minor League Baseball! The 2018 season will see the opening of a new ballpark in North Augusta, South Carolina, and based on the success of a program launched in four cities in 2017, this year we are introducing the “Copa de la Diversión,” or “Fun Cup,” a season-long event series between the 33 teams that have adopted Spanish-language identities in an effort to be more representative of their community. While you may see some new logos and team identities this spring and summer, what remains the same is the quality, affordable family entertainment in a clean and safe environment that is a staple of Minor League Baseball across the country. With 20 leagues and more than 250 clubs, Minor League Baseball is where you will find the next wave of baseball’s brightest stars on their way to the big leagues. The next Mike Trout, Jose Altuve or Kris Bryant just might be playing in the game you are watching now! Minor League Baseball also remains an integral part of the sports landscape, and of the communities it represents. Last season, Minor League Baseball’s philanthropic endeavors included donating almost $40 million in cash and value in kind contributions to local and national charities. We are proud to support our National Charity Partners: The ALS Association, the American Cancer Society, Big Brothers Big Sisters, The BairFind Foundation and Ed Randall’s Fans for the Cure, as well as other worthy initiatives and causes.
