Jan Borland Memorial Award

Jan Borland was the BOMBA Administrator for over 6 years and the parent of a player and umpire. She was BOMBA's "Good Will Ambassador" with her main objective directed to the players. She always recruited for the good of the Association. "The younger the better, if they can walk, they can play ball". She also wanted more girls involved in baseball and was always trying to think of new ways of getting them out to play and keep them coming back. Her untimely death left a huge void at BOMBA.

The Club President chooses and presents this award to the person or persons who have best dedicated their time to volunteerism within the organization.
