Presented annually by the Canadian Baseball Hall of Fame to a volunteer that has shown dedication, passion and support towards the museum.
The Director of Operations provides the Board of Directors with a list of candidates during their spring board meeting. The announcement and presentation takes place during the annual induction ceremony in June.
Randy Echlin was a lifelong volunteer with the Hall of Fame. He was on the Board of Directors since the early 1980’s including Chair of the Board from 1999-2001. Randy then became Chair of the Selection committee in 2002 until his passing in 2011.
Kevin has volunteered with the museum since the late 1990’s first helping with the golf tournament and communications committee. An exceptional writer by trait Kevin took over writing all major press releases and communication pieces for the Hall of Fame in early 2000 and has spent over 20 years supporting the Hall of Fame with his words of wisdom. His personal blog Cooperstowners in Canada show his depth of baseball knowledge and writing skills. If we don’t know the answer to a baseball question we ask Kevin.
Kevin also lends his time by chairing the Selection Committee for the Jack Graney award which is presented annually by the Hall of Fame to a representative of the media who has made a significant contribution to the game of baseball in Canada through their life’s work, or for a singular outstanding achievement.
In recognition of his many contributions to the Canadian Baseball Hall of Fame and Museum, we are delighted to present Kevin Glew with the 2023 Randy Echlin Lifetime Volunteer Award. Thank you and congratulations!
Christine Douglas starting volunteering at the Hall of Fame in our early days here in St. Marys. Her main responsibility was the co-ordinator of our largest fundraiser, the Celebrity Golf Classic and Banquet. Christine was the key organizer and the feet on the ground day of the tournament since our very first golf tournament in 1997 and she finally retired 23 golf tournaments later after the very successful 2019 tournament.
She never hesitates to provide input and thoughts towards all aspects of the Hall of Fame and was one of the first financial donors as well
In recognition of his many contributions to the Canadian Baseball Hall of Fame and Museum, we are delighted to present Christine Douglas with the 2022 Randy Echlin Lifetime Volunteer Award. Thank you and congratulations!
