🎃💜 HAPPY HALLOWEEN! 💜🎃

Halloween was one of Patti’s favorite holidays, and she certainly knew how to get into the spirit! 👻

From dressing up to making memories, Patti always knew how to have a little fun!

Today, we're sharing a couple of our favorite Halloween throwbacks and wishing everyone a day filled with laughter, fun, and maybe a little too much candy! 🍬🎃

Happy Halloween from all of us at Love, Patti! 💜

💜 Happy Heavenly Birthday, Patti. 💜

Today, we celebrate the woman who started it all—the reason Love, Patti exists and the reason we continue doing what we do.

Patti’s life, her love for her family, her strength, and the way she touched so many people continue to inspire our mission every single day.

So today, on what would have been her 42nd birthday, do something for Patti.

🥂 Have a drink. Make a toast.
🙏 Say a prayer.
🥎 Throw a softball.
💜 Hug your family a little tighter.
😂 Laugh a little louder.
❤️ Love a little harder.

Whatever you do today, do it for Patti.

Happy Birthday, Patti. We love you, we miss you, and we carry you with us in everything we do.

A little sponsor love 💜⚾️

Love, Patti wouldn’t be able to do what we do without the incredible businesses that continue to show up for our mission and our community.

Our Home Run Sponsors help make our biggest fundraiser, Love, Patti Family Fun Day, possible while also helping us support individuals and families affected by cancer, provide scholarships for students, and give back to other cancer-supporting causes.

If you’re looking for a local business to support, be sure to check out our amazing sponsors! Follow their pages, give them a like or share, and keep them in mind the next time you need their services. Supporting the businesses that support us is one of the easiest ways to give back. 💜

To our sponsors: we thank you, we support you, and we LOVE you! 🫶

Thank you Ann's Place! And thank you for everything you do!

Last month, Ann's Place was honored to be a recipient of funds raised through the incredible work of Love, Patti Organization at their 3rd Annual Love, Patti Family Fun Day & Softball Tournament.

Here's a special message from Love, Patti's Founder:

Love, Patti: Carrying Forward Patti's Legacy" Patti Aurrichio Ricco was a devoted wife, mother, daughter, sister, coach, teacher, and friend whose kindness and generosity touched countless lives. In 2023, after a brief but courageous battle with stomach cancer, Patti passed away at just 39 years old. Throughout her journey, Ann's Place became a source of comfort and support for Patti and those who loved her.

To honor her legacy, our family founded Love, Patti, a 501(c)(3) nonprofit organization dedicated to supporting individuals and families affected by cancer while carrying forward Patti's legacy of compassion, strength, and generosity.

This July, Love, Patti proudly hosted our 3rd Annual Family Fun Day & Softball Tournament, bringing together hundreds of supporters for a day of softball, family activities, live entertainment, raffles, and great food and drinks. Thanks to the generosity of our sponsors, volunteers, donors, players, and attendees, the event was another tremendous success.

One of the day's most meaningful moments was recognizing Kai Shank as our first-ever Patti's Warrior. Kai's extraordinary courage throughout his battle with osteosarcoma inspired everyone in attendance and reminded us why organizations like Love, Patti and Ann's Place are so important.

Funds raised through Love, Patti support organizations including Ann's Place and Debbie's Dream Foundation, while also providing scholarships to students and resources for individuals and families facing cancer. We are deeply grateful for our partnership with Ann's Place and the life-changing support they provide every day.

We're excited to continue our mission with other events throughout the year and planning is already underway for our 4th Annual Family Fun Day & Softball Tournament. We look forward to announcing the 2027 event date early next year.

Love, Patti
