Vauxhall, AB –
The 9th Annual Awards/Scholarship Fundraising Banquet was once again a tremendous success. Marty Baceda led the evening again as our MC. Former Blue Jay and 1998 World Series Champion Homer Bush talked about his childhood, professional baseball career, being a Jay as well as a World Series Champion Yankee and talked directly to our current Jets about work ethic and adversity. Several Awards and Scholarships were handed out highlighted by the Reno Lizzi Scholarships. Barbara & Yukio Kitagawa continued to inspire the entire Jets organization as they matched all donations at the Reno Lizzi table as well as Pennies for K’s to $20,000.00. The 2015 banquet has set a new standard for years to come!!! The Award winners are listed below:
