The Michael S. Jacobs Foundation was founded in early 2005 after the unexpected death of Slammers Baseball, co-owner, Mike Jacobs on July 22, 2004.
Everyone who knew “Jake” as he was often called used to describe him as “bigger than life.” Everything about his presence was BIG—his personality, his generosity, his grand entrance into rooms, his embracing bear hugs and his contagious laughter.
Mike’s greatest passion was his family. He adored his wife, Galynn and their three children, Jordyn, AJ, and Taylor. He also enjoyed golf, baseball and poker.
To honor Mike’s life, Slammers Baseball and his family decided to establish the Michael S. Jacobs Foundation. The purpose of the Michael S. Jacobs foundation is to provide financial assistance to youth and High School players who participate in baseball and softball.
In order to fund this objective, the Michael S. Jacobs Foundation has teamed up with Slammers Baseball, Meningioma Mommas, Tehama/Izod to co-sponsor the yearly “Michael S. Jacobs Memorial Golf Tournament.”
