Chris Wenzel Memorial Legion B Classic Baseball Tournament

Bismarck Baseball Boosters, Inc. (BBB) is hosting a fundraising event on behalf of the Chris Wenzel Memorial Fund.  Part of the tribute to honor the memory of Chris and his dedication to the Bismarck Babe Ruth program will include the renaming of the American Legion B Classic Tournament to the "Chris Wenzel Memorial Legion B Classis Tournament".  The funds will be used to support the tournament which is scheduled to be held on June 15-17, 2012 at the Bismarck Municipal Ballpark. BBB is hoping to raise enough funds to support both the annual Chris Wenzel Memorial tournament and also fund a batting cage project at the Babe Ruth baseball fields located at Tatley Park in memory of Chris.  This will be a great way to remember our friend, Chris and the passion he had for coaching in the Bismarck Babe Ruth program for many years to come! We greatly appreciate any amount of donation. 

Donations can be sent to Bismarck Baseball Boosters, Inc. c/o the Chris Wenzel Memorial Fund, PO Box 7361, Bismarck, ND 58507-7361.
