A Message from Our Founder

In 1999 I had an experience that changed my life. Former Philly teammates Kevin Sefcik, Rico Brogna, and I visited children on the cancer floor of The Temple Children's Hospital in Philadelphia .
Although these children were terminal, we were not greeted with despair and illness. We were greeted with smiles and appreciation.

Some experiences stick in your mind. This was one I thought about for days. It hit me. Just a simple visit from three major league baseball players created something magical in each room. For 20 seconds, 2 minutes, 10 minutes that child was not ill. Physically yes. Emotionally no. There was hope in those rooms. Can I bottle those five minutes for the child and their family? I don't know but how can I not try?

I know there are opportunities in your life to help a child. Embrace them. Do not turn your head. Help is in your heart – dig deep. My opportunity came on a hospital visit in Philadelphia. I have never forgotten it. It opened my eyes. It made me a better person. It took my breath but gave me life. Now it's up
to me – now it's up to you.

The strength of our foundation lies in our hearts.
