2023 Keith Jorgensen Memorial Golf Tournament

The Prairie Baseball Academy (PBA) is pleased to announce that our annual golf tournament, the Keith Jorgensen Memorial Scholarship Tournament, is once again being hosted at the beautiful Paradise Canyon Golf Resort on Friday September 8th, 2023.

Keith was instrumental in the creation of both the PBA program and this tournament, which have provided substantial funding to our $75,000 scholarship program for players attending the University of Lethbridge and the Lethbridge College.

We lost our longtime advocate and friend in 2016 but are honoured to carry on his commitment to the PBA program, and enhancing his legacy through this golf event.

As mentioned, the funds raised at the tournament go exclusively to support the scholarship program. It allows players from across the country to come to Lethbridge and pursue their baseball endeavors while, most importantly, earning their post-secondary education. We are proud that many players learn to love our city, remain here when they complete their baseball and education goals, and begin their careers and families in support of our local economy.

The Prairie Baseball Academy has been operating for twenty years and the coaching staff and board of directors are proud of the entire direction of the PBA.

Our mission statement guides our journey and directs our future.
