"Here's to a fond farewell to 2020.

Thanks for all of the learning. Thank you for all of the growth. We could use a little less of the pain.

We are all one and we have all gained because we found our place together. Looking forward to new opportunities to enrich and build more common bonds. Sports brings people together. People of different color, backgrounds, ethnicities. Despite the pain and losses of the year, we keep growing.

To our health and many essential workers - thank you for your service then, and thank you for your continued perseverance today.

To our partners, volunteers and countless supporters - thank you for believing. The mission is greater than all of us.

To the many players and families that we have had the opportunity to impact - keep growing. Write down your goals. Keep grinding.

See you all in 2021 either virtually or in person, when it is safe.

2020ne ... here we come."

"Ho, Ho, Ho!

Wishing everyone and our community a very Merry Christmas (if you celebrate) season! Our community and those around us has all been through several challenges through the year. Let us ring in a new hope for the future, and celebrate in safety and in good health with friends and family. From our OHANA to yours!"

"Happiest Thanksgiving from our OHANA to yours! We are grateful for our community and partners for your consistent support. We are staying strong with amazing clinics (virtual and small Pods) and no, we are no traveling until we are certain we can all be safe.

Excited to share our gratitude with our community ... stay healthy and stay well. See you on the field!"

"What's on your top of mind?

See you all next month!"

"Happy Father's Day to all of the amazing and wonderful dads out there. Those that stand up for their kids, and dont break them down.

And to all of the mothers out there pulling double duty - this one is for you also.

These are challenging times ... a far different Father's Day than most. Many of you are sitting at home or in the yard instead of a ballfield. Many of you are finding innovative ways to play catch, instead of endangering others in games and practices so the future will be better.

Many of you are taking the extra steps to stay in touch, rather than focus on what you are missing. To all of you, we send you praise for doing the right things and we send you added strength to keep lifting. Because to more than one you are the Superhero.

Sometimes, you just need to look within.

See you on the field .. soon. Check your emails."

"We stand in unity. But not just today. Everyday.

We stand for all those who do not have a voice. We stand for all those that have been victimized by others' greed and by their lack of commitment to virtue. We stand because others cannot.

So they can breathe.

This is a historic time. But not a time you hope to remember.

And yet you need to.

We cannot see the change unless you live it. We miss you all, but we will continue to be together as one. Let's stand in solidarity starting today. We need to be better today than we were yesterday ... like we expect you to be on the fields. At school. At home. And in your community.

Because it means something. So make it count.

Diversity is a core value of ours. We cherish it and embrace it daily. It is a life skill - a skill that endures long after you are gone. But this is not about us. It is, however, what we can do to build YOUR voice.

Stand tall and please stay safe.

"Today is World Turtle Day. Each cycle, turtles will lay approximately 100 eggs. Did you know only one in 1000 hatchlings survive into adulthood? Like the struggles of modern day life, we thrive, like the turtles, when we rely upon each other and our environment support us.

So take a moment, a deep breath, and enjoy your opportunity. 🤙🏽"

"To all of the amazing Mothers, Grandmothers, Aunts, supporters and Dads who pull double or triple duty .. celebrate this day in honor of you.

For all of those special moments where you never gave up, and you taught your child (dren) the same. For the times you cheered so loudly to support everyone including your childs' teammates. And for those moments you were there just to hold your child in silence so they knew you were listening ...

You have become the teachers, the tutors, the chefs, the afterschool motivators, the schedule keepers, homemakers and our heroes.

Thank you.

You are amazing and we are all so very lucky and grateful."
