Last night was one for the books, and we couldn’t be more proud 💙

Congratulations to our very own Madyson Thacker on an incredible achievement—pitching a NO-HITTER and earning a feature in The Wi******er Star! 🥎🔥

Madyson struck out 13 batters and led her team to a huge win, showing the kind of determination, strength, and heart that inspires everyone around her. This is what hard work looks like, and she is just getting started! Great team effort from everyone working together to get Handley the Win.

From all of us at the Kevin Riley Foundation of Hope, we celebrate you, Madyson. Keep chasing your dreams and making your mark—we’re cheering you on every step of the way 💫

We love celebrating moments of hope, hard work, and perseverance—and today, our hearts are so full. ❤️

Our very own Lilyan Shearer was recently featured in an Athlete Spotlight by The Wi******er Star, recognized for her dedication as a senior softball player at John Handley High School.

Watching her grow into the strong, determined young woman she is today has been such a blessing. Her commitment, discipline, and love for the game reflect so many of the values we hold close through the Kevin Riley Foundation of Hope—resilience, purpose, and pushing forward no matter what.

Lily, we are beyond proud of you. Keep chasing your dreams, keep working hard, and never forget how many people are cheering you on. 💛

Moments like this remind us that even through loss, there is still so much light, promise, and hope in the next generation.

Hey friends, any of our FB friends part of a restaurant or a caterer or a business that would be willing to donate a meal for the John Handley High School Softball team for an away game. We still have some games currently not covered.
Would need to feed 15 players and 4 coaches.

Please message me if your interested in helping by taking a game. We can arrange to pick up the food and deliver to Handley.

*Our family has 2 players on this team, we are very proud of both Lilyan and Madyson, so we wanted to share to support their team. If anyone would like to donate a meal for their team you can message our page directly or comment below. 🥎

🌸 Happy Easter from Kevin Riley Foundation of Hope 🌸

Today is a day of hope, renewal, and love. As we celebrate Easter, we are reminded that even in the darkest moments, light and new life can rise again.

While this day brings joy, it can also be a time when we deeply feel the absence of those we love who are no longer with us. Today, we hold space in our hearts for them—remembering their love, their laughter, and the impact they made on our lives. 💛

At the Kevin Riley Foundation of Hope, we honor those we’ve lost by continuing to spread kindness, compassion, and hope in their memory. Their light lives on through every act of love we share.

Wishing you and your family a day filled with peace, comfort, and hope. 🌷
