Past Tournaments
A Brief History
Now
entering its 11th year, the annual Keys Charity Golf
Classic has grown from 63 golfers during their inaugural
event in 1996 to average over 144 golfers and 50
volunteers the past seven years. Over 1,340 golfers have
participated in this event since it exception.
Founded by Mark Zeigler in 1996, the event is an
opportunity for Keys sponsors to spend a few hours with
the players, manager, and staff outside of Harry Grove
Stadium, while raising funds for a good cause.
Over 115 former and current Frederick Keys players have
participated in this event over the past 10 years,
including many who have reached the major leagues. Among
them include Brian Roberts, Sidney Ponson, Rick Bauer,
Eric Bedard, Josh Towers, John Parrish, Jerry Hairston,
Jr., Chad Paronto, Tim Raines, Jr., Luis Matos, John
Stephens, Aaron Rakers, Darnell McDonald, and John
Maine, Rick Short, Tim Corcoran, Chris Britton, Adam
Loewen, Jayson Werth, Kurt Birkins, Hayden Penn, and
Brandon Fahey to name a few. Among the former past Major
Leaguers to participate include Don Buford, Sr., Tom
Treblehorn, Andy Etchebarren, Scott McGregor, John
Stearns, Dick Hall, Dave Cash, Dave Schmidt, Jack Voigt,
Dave Stockstill, and Tom Lawless.
The Community Foundation of Frederick County is the
beneficiary of the tournament, receiving more than
$96,000 since the Joel A. Stephens Memorial Fund was
established in 1999, in memory of former Baltimore
Orioles Minor League prospect, Joel Stephens. In 2002,
the first Joel's Kids recipients were formally inducted,
and each year since, a new their organization has
benefited with a grant award from the Joel's Kids fund.
Past recipients have been the Challenger Little League
of Frederick County, the Myersville Junior Baseball
League, and the Thurmont Little League, and the Arc of
Frederick County (MD). A new grant award winner will be
announced in July, 2006, for the 2006-2007 calendar
year.
