With the incredible help and support of the 𝗟𝗮𝗻𝗰𝗮𝘀𝘁𝗲𝗿 𝗬𝗼𝘂𝘁𝗵 𝗕𝗮𝘀𝗲𝗯𝗮𝗹𝗹 𝗔𝘀𝘀𝗼𝗰𝗶𝗮𝘁𝗶𝗼𝗻, our community came together to honor the life and legacy of 𝐉𝐚𝐱𝐨𝐧 𝐁𝐢𝐧𝐤𝐥𝐞𝐲 through the first annual Jaxon Memorial Baseball Game. 💙⚾️

Two Lancaster baseball teams took the field, not just to play a game, but to play in memory of #13.

To honor a little boy whose life was far too short, but whose impact will never be. To honor the family and loved ones who carry his memory with them every single day. And to honor something Jaxon loved deeply, baseball.

What a turnout! What a beautiful reminder of what can happen when a community chooses to show up. You had to be there to feel how powerful the evening was.

There were players on the field who never had the chance to know Jaxon, and some who did - but they all played with purpose. There were moments throughout the evening that made it impossible not to feel just how deeply this community remembers and loves him.

A life doesn’t have to be long to leave a legacy.

Jaxon’s #13 was more than a number last night. It represented a little boy who was loved, who mattered, and who will continue to be remembered.

We are incredibly grateful to every player, coach, parent, volunteer, supporter, and especially the Lancaster Youth Baseball Association for helping make this night possible.

This was about more than baseball.

It was about remembering.
It was about loving.
It was about showing up.
It was about keeping Jaxon’s light alive.

And as long as we continue to say his name, tell his story, and gather in his memory, Jaxon will never be forgotten. 💙

Play big. Laugh loud. Love hard.
Live like Jaxon. #13 ⚾️💙

October 6 - One Year Without Jaxon 💙

One year ago, tragedy struck our community, and Jaxon Binkley made his way to Heaven.

October 6 marks one year since we lost a kid who brought so much life, laughter and love into the world. A year of birthdays, ballgames, memories and moments that his family, friends, teammates and community have had to experience without him here.

But we aren’t letting a year go by without saying his name.

Jaxon loved baseball. He loved camo. He loved being outdoors. He loved the things that made him a kid - and he loved BIG. 💙

So what better way to honor him than bringing his baseball family together, putting on the camo, and doing what Jaxon loved - playing ball. ⚾️

⚾️💙 LIVE LIKE JAXON - MEMORIAL BASEBALL GAME 💙⚾️

📅 October 6, 2026
📍 Lancaster Youth Baseball
🎽 Memorial Game honoring Jaxon Binkley #13

We invite Jaxon’s family, friends, former teammates, coaches and our community to come out and help us honor his memory.

Wear your camo.
Bring your kids.
Bring your memories.
And come help us make October 6 about celebrating Jaxon, not just remembering the day we lost him.

Because his time here may have been far too short, but the impact he left behind is anything but.

Play big.
Laugh loud.
Love hard.
Live Like Jaxon. 💙⚾️

One year in Heaven.
Forever #13.

🇺🇸 September 11, 2001

9/11 was a tragedy that shook our entire country and changed the lives of so many families forever.

Lives were lost that day.
Children lost parents.
Spouses lost husbands and wives.
Families lost the futures they thought they had.

And the loss didn’t stop that day.

In the years that followed, more lives were lost in the war that came from 9/11. More families received the phone call no family ever wants to get. More children grew up without a parent. More parents had to bury their sons and daughters.

So today, we remember all of them.

The lives lost on September 11th.
The first responders who gave everything.
The service members who never made it home.
And the families and children who have carried that grief ever since.

At Hope Comes in the Mourning, we know that when a life is lost, the loss doesn’t end with that person. It lives on in the people who loved them.

We remember the lives.
We remember the families.
We remember the children.
And we will never forget. 🇺🇸

September 11, 2001 - and all those lost in the years that followed.

I have no words for how amazing BGSL has been to us. BGSL is the heart & soul of our softball tournament as this would not be possible without their hospitality. The relationship we have built with them, the support they offer year after year, the participation in the event… I have nothing and everything to say all at once. They truly are one of the best people and organizations around!
