The Saskatchewan Baseball Hall of Fame in Battleford received a pair of donations this past week.
Tuesday, the hall hosted an open house in conjunction with the donations being delivered.
The now dissolved Battlefords Collegiate Institute, and the Elks Club of North Battleford gave the donations.
BCI donated $2144.77, while the Elks club donated $500.
Jane Shurry, president and CEO of the hall says they plan on using the money wisely.
“What we are in the process of doing is getting more display area, more display cases,” said Shurry.
She says they plan on recognizing their generous donation as well.
“I ensured the dissolved BCI committee that we would certainly do something, and have it marked accordingly on behalf of the money they donated,” she explained. “The people from Battleford and BCI have contributed, and we owe it to them to acknowledge them.”
Shurry says the donations are what keep the organization going.
“We’re non-profit, we operate on funds that we raise,” she said. “It’s important that the organizations in the Battlefords are aware that their help is certainly of great value to us.”
