The 23rd Annual Lori Craven Memorial Ball Tournament took over Driven Energy Legion Ball Park last weekend for another fully-booked tournament.
It’s all about having fun with friends and family while remembering lost loved ones and raising funds for those in need.
Funds are raised through donations and the shaving of heads and go directly to local and area families with health and financial struggles.
Over the year's the Lori Craven Memorial Tournament has raised roughly $1.3M.
This year’s tournament raised $120K for local families, one being the Walker family from Wainwright.
“I’m here on behalf of my daughter, Peyton Walker. She's 15 years old and has played hockey in Lloydminster for the past three years as a proud member of the Steelers female hockey program,” said Peyton’s dad, Scott.
Scott went on to explain his daughter was diagnosed with Stage 3 rapiditas sarcoma in April.
“All of you here today have made a huge impact on a young lady’s life,” he said.
“You should be proud of what this community does and we’re forever grateful.”
