My grandson is a multi, twelve year old athlete! He excels in every sport he participates in and is the kindest young man.
Thank you for generously supporting Anthony in this year’s competition. Your support helps empower the V Foundation for Cancer Research and the Why Not You Foundation in their respective missions to save lives and empower today's youth to become tomorrow's leaders.
Anthony loves to be active and once he commits to an activity, he has to be the best he can be. He is well respected among his peers and is a true team player, supporting his teammates.
I would love to say his grandfather, a former professional baseball player who taught him how to pitch, but I can honestly say he is inspired most by his dad, a green beret who was injured and disabled. His dad taught him how to hunt, getting his first deer at age 8. He supports him in everything he does and is his number one cheerleader.
There have been so many proud moments, but he recently hit a grand slam in a playoff game. Many of his buddies attended the game and as he crossed the plate, they all started chanting his name. As a grandparent, to see so many young kids cheering for him, truly made me emotional and extremely proud.
