The next time you feel like something is too hard or unfair or want to quit, remember what happened on the beaches of Normandy on this date 82 years ago today

Another Testicular Cancer Month in the books—and we’re really proud of what we accomplished together.

Thanks to your support, we helped 3 individuals currently battling testicular cancer, spread awareness through our laces and patches, and rolled out something we’ve been working on for well over a year: our “Understanding Testicular Cancer – Mini Lesson.” It’s now in the hands of health educators and administrators at nearly every high school across Chicagoland.

These resources are completely free and available to everyone—so if we missed your school (or you’re outside the area), let us know and we’ll get you access.

Thank you everyone for your support this month. Keep following us to see what we are up to next!

A huge thank you to the communities of Conant and Jacobs High School. Over the weekend, they raised over $4,000 for Lace ‘Em Up NFP—but even more importantly, this provides meaningful support to two men in the Chicagoland area currently battling testicular cancer. Lace ‘Em Up NFP is incredibly grateful for your commitment, generosity, and heart.

Not all heroes wear capes… sometimes they wear baseball uniforms

Since day one, Conant and Jacobs have been among Lace ‘Em Up NFP’s most steadfast supporters—lacing ‘em up year after year to raise funds and stand beside men battling testicular cancer in the Chicagoland area. Their commitment goes far beyond the field, turning every game into hope, awareness, and real impact.

This is what heroes look like.
