An avid baseball player in his youth, Dan Taylor returned to the sport he loves in 1994 as an adult to serve as Commissioner for a new recreational association, Lower Mainland Baseball Association, a position he still holds today. Under his guidance, the LMBA has evolved into the largest adult baseball league in Canada, currently involving 32 teams in 14 Lower Mainland municipalities. Players range in age from 19 to 70+ and are able to continue their baseball careers in a competitive league that emphasizes participation and sportsmanship thanks to the development of this league.
It is the objective of the McDonald's Challenger Celebrity Golf Classic to raise funds for worthwhile children's charities in BC, particularly for the Challenger Baseball program, which provides opportunities for children with cognitive or physical disabilities to enjoy all the benefits of playing baseball.
