Today would have been Coach Todd’s 56th birthday.

Instead of just remembering, we chose to celebrate it the way he would have… by showing up for others.

Today, we delivered 56 birthday baskets to LYDIA Home- each one meant to remind a child that their birthday matters, that they matter.

56 baskets.
56 birthdays.
One legacy that keeps showing up.

Thank you to everyone who helped make this possible. We felt you in every single one. 💛⚾

Help us turn March 18th into 56 celebrations.

March 18th would have been Coach Todd’s 56th birthday.

Todd loved birthdays. If it was your day, the house was decorated. Balloons were up. You felt celebrated.

This year, we’re continuing that tradition.

We’re creating 56 Birthday Celebration Baskets for children at Lydia Home Foster Care - complete with cake mix, frosting, Sprite for baking, decorations, and a stuffed animal wearing a Play With Heart bandana.

You can sponsor one basket for $20 in honor of Todd’s 56 years.

Our goal:
56 sponsors.
56 baskets.
56 kids celebrated.

💙 The easiest way to sponsor is through our website:
https://www.coachtoddsplaywithheart.com/shop/p/56-for-56

If needed, you can also send $20 via Zelle to:
847-553-5129
(Please note “Birthday Basket” in the memo.)

We prefer donations through the website if possible so we can track sponsors easily.

Thank you for helping us keep his birthday tradition alive. 💙

Coach Todd’s bench is here- a place to connect with him, remember him, and feel close to him again.

It’s the perfect tribute to his love for baseball, coaching, and the countless players he inspired through the Franklin Park Vipers. ⚾

You can find his bench at North Park in Franklin Park, near the baseball fields off Sunset Lane- where his legacy continues to inspire. ❤️
