Keeper of The Game
“The mission of Keeper of The Game is to provide kids and young adults with special needs and disabilities unique baseball experiences that foster the growth of those individuals and their love of baseball. Keeper of The Game promotes programs that allow these athletes to play, watch and experience baseball at a very personal level. This is all done with a focus on advancing servant leadership.”
Keeper of The Game’s fourth annual RP11 Strikes and Scholarships bowling event is set for Tuesday, Jan. 7 from 6-9 p.m. at Main Event in Frisco, Texas (9375 Dallas Pkwy.). The foundation’s biggest event of the year will again benefit the Ron Patterson Scholarship Fund for St. Timothy Christian Academy and special needs programming.
