Annual NDHS/TJNFF Baseball Extravaganza & 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 our June 14th Junior Skills Clinic for boys and girls ages 6-12. Click the “View Event” button for more information and to register.

Immediately following the clinic, the 14U travel tournament games begin. This competitive tournament will continue through Sunday afternoon, June 15th. These 12 and 13 year-olds are some of the best young baseball players in California. The concession stand will be serving its usual gourmet fare and there will be a chance to win some great raffle prizes.

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.
