Chuck Wiley Athletic Foundation

Chuck Wiley Athletic Foundation We help athletes navigate life’s curveballs. Every young athlete deserves a chance to play.

The Chuck Wiley Athletic Foundation provides financial support and opportunity, so no athlete is left behind because of cost. If you know an athlete in need, please contact us at [email protected].

⚾️ This spring, Logan had the opportunity to speak with the RepMo Baseball Club and share a couple of lessons his dad, Chuck Wiley, taught him early on as a pitcher.

Chuck was a pitcher too, and these were things he always reminded Logan of growing up.

The first: When things don’t go your way or you make a mistake on the mound… tell yourself: “Next Pitch.”

Don’t carry it. Move on and focus on the next one.

The second: If someone walks in while you’re on the mound, they should never know whether you’re winning or losing.

Stay steady no matter the situation.

And one I don’t think Logan shared… (Chuck’s fire side 🙂) Never be afraid to get someone off the plate. lol

Simple lessons. Lasting impact. And special moments being able to pass them on to the next generation of athletes.

⚾️ The Wiley Baseball Tournament is July 10–12, and we are still looking for sponsors and silent auction items as we continue raising scholarship funds to help keep young athletes in the game.

This is why we do what we do.

A pair of shoes. An opportunity. A chance to step on the track feeling ready.

This athlete needed support to get what he needed for the season. Because of this community, he got it.

And then… he showed up and won.

But this isn’t just about winning a race.
It’s about confidence. Belief. Opportunity.

It’s about a kid getting the chance to compete, to grow, and to see what’s possible.

Grateful for every person who helps us keep kids in the game. This is the impact.

Every year, more kids need a little help to stay in the game.

Not because they don’t love it.
Not because they’re not working for it.
But because sometimes they just need a little support to keep going.

Over the past few years, because of this community, we’ve given out $140,000+ in scholarships and supported 200+ athletes.

And we’re just getting started.

Because when you sponsor, this is what it actually looks like…

It might be helping a kid play local soccer or basketball.
It might be putting shoes on their feet or equipment in their hands.
It might be giving them a chance to play travel ball.
Or even opening the door to the next level they wouldn’t have had otherwise.

This isn’t just about baseball.
It’s about keeping kids in something that builds confidence, discipline, and belief in themselves.

The Wiley Tournament is how we make that happen.

And this year, we’re looking for sponsors who want to be part of it.

Businesses. Individuals. People who care.

You’re not just putting your name on something.
You’re helping a young athlete keep going.

If that means something to you, I’d love to connect.
I’ll drop the link in the comments.

Let’s keep as many kids in the game as we can. 💙

💙 Please share 💙

What started as a simple idea —
helping kids who might not otherwise get the chance — has grown into a mission that changes lives.

Every season, we hear from families who just need a bridge…
a little support…
so their athlete can stay in the game they love.

Our annual Wiley Tournament raises around $30,000 each year, but as awareness grows, the number of scholarship requests is now outpacing what the tournament brings in.

It’s a good challenge —
because it means more kids are reaching out for help —
but it also means we’re working to grow so we never have to say “no.”

Today, you can help us keep saying “yes.”

Give any amount and it will go directly to help another athlete stay on the field, stay connected, and stay confident.

Five years of impact. 🙌🏼💙👊🏼

A huge thank-you to Missouri Furniture, our long-time Ring Sponsor, for showing up for the Wiley Tournament and the Chuck Wiley Athletic Foundation year after year.

Your support helps us do what matters most—provide scholarships, equip athletes in need, and keep kids in the game.

Your consistency, generosity, and belief in this mission make a real difference.
We’re grateful for your partnership—more than you know.

Happy Heavenly Birthday, Chuck. ❤️

Today, Chuck would be 55.

What started as a way to honor his life and legacy has now become something far bigger than we ever imagined.

The Chuck Wiley Athletic Foundation has touched over 180 athletes and given out more than $130,000 in scholarships.
And every year, the Wiley Tournament clears around $30,000 to help keep athletes in the game.

As awareness has grown, so has the need.
Scholarships are now outpacing our funds. Which is both a beautiful reminder of how many athletes we’re reaching… and a clear sign that it’s time to grow.

If you feel led to give a tax-deductible gift in Chuck’s honor today, we would be so grateful.

You can give $55 for his 55th birthday, or any amount that feels right to you.
(We’ll drop the link in comments, it’s also in the bio.)

Every dollar goes directly to athletes who need a hand…kids who are doing everything they can to stay in the game, chase their dreams, and keep moving forward.

Thank you for being a community that shows up.

Thank you for helping carry Chuck’s legacy forward.

And stay tuned… we’re growing, evolving, and looking at new ways to meet the need so we never have to turn an athlete away.

Happy 55th, Chuck. 💙⚾️💫
Your legacy is still climbing.
