We are getting a head start on Cole’s birthday wish list for his 23rd birthday! If you’d like to help, we will collect toys and distribute them to area hospitals! Thank you so much for celebrating Cole’s birthday with us this year! He would be so excited to help others!

We will periodically update this list as well and plan to distribute the toys periodically until his birthday on December 15th!

Thank you!

Thank you to everyone who came out to support us at the 2026 Batcole Hot Wheels Nationals— as always, we had so much fun!! We couldn’t pull this event off without our community and were so grateful for everyone included.

Last night, we raised $9772 🥳🎗️🩷 All proceeds are benefitting pediatric cancer research.

As a reminder, if you took a picture in our Hot Wheels box last night, your pictures will be available soon! We’ll make another post letting you know when they’re ready to access.

September is Childhood Cancer Awareness Month. 🎗️

For me, childhood cancer will always have a name — Cole.

Cole was funny, loving, full of life, and so much more. I watched my son endure things no child should ever have to endure, and on July 29, 2015, we lost him at just 11 years old.

I miss Cole every minute of every day- I miss his mischievous smile, his laugh, his creativeness, his kindness, his hugs and his voice.

But cancer didn’t take Cole’s legacy.

Batcole was born from watching his fight, and through it we continue to fight for better, less toxic treatments and a future where other families don’t have to know this kind of loss.

This month, when you see gold, please remember the children behind the ribbon.

And remember mine. 💛

Cole.

Eleven years without you, Cole, and we all still miss you every single day.

Today, we’ll honor you by taking the adventures, seeing new places, trying new foods and making memories.

We miss you Coley- so very much 💛
