On Feb. 13 and 15, Terry Park in Fort Myers will host a Preseason Baseball Classic dedicated to honoring the life of Jackson Eyre, a Fort Myers resident and South Fort Myers High School graduate who lost his life in a car accident last summer. Jackson, who had aspirations to attend Fort Myers Technical College, will be remembered through this special event aimed at celebrating his passion for family and friends and his commitment to love life.

The Classic, organized by the South Fort Myers Boosters and athletic department, will feature baseball matches showcasing talent from across the region. The participating teams are Bonita Springs High, Canterbury School, Community School of Naples, Evangelical Christian School, Gateway High, Oasis Charter and South Fort Myers High.

In tribute to Jackson’s memory and his ambition to pursue higher education at FMTC, all proceeds generated from the Preseason Baseball Classic will be directed towards establishing a scholarship fund. This scholarship will be awarded to a deserving student, allowing them to follow in Jackson’s footsteps and pursue their academic goals at FMTC.
