Annual NDHS/TJNFF Baseball Extravaganza: Junior Skills Clinic & 14U Invitational Tournament
Join us at Notre Dame High School’s Marine Corps Memorial Stadium, dubbed by Sports Illustrated as “the prettiest little ballpark in the Valley," for three days of baseball fun, including the 14U Tournament and our June 20th Junior Skills Clinic for boys and girls ages 6-12. Click the “View Event” button for more information and to register.
All proceeds from the event will support Thrive in Joy’s C11 Strength of Character program and projects that improve the quality of life in under-resourced communities in the Dominican Republic. Bring your family and friends for a day of fun, food, and baseball! Spectator admission is free.
TJNFF Beach Day
Each year on the last Monday of July— friends, family, and those who have been impacted by Thrive in Joy— gather on Venice Beach to celebrate Nick’s life. We also remember other loved ones who have left us too soon. It’s a beautiful time for the ever-growing Thrive in Joy community to connect and share stories of how we have been positively touched by the good works of Thrive in Joy.
11 Days of Giving
TJNFF’s annual appeal runs from 11/11 through 11/22. 11:11 had a special meaning for Nick. Whenever he saw that time on his phone he made a wish. Thrive in Joy’s 11 Days of Giving allows us to share our story of impact with you over 11 days. In 2024, our campaign raised nearly $165,000. When you help spread the word, our impact grows. Whether you donate $11.11 or $11,111, your gift matters.
#ROCK4Nick
Each year our community of friends, volunteers, and supporters celebrates Nick’s Nov. 23 birthday practicing Random Offerings of Character & Kindness. We love having a focused day of kindness, but let’s keep it going all year. Spread some unexpected joy and let us know by using #Rock4Nick in your post.
