Honoring Eric’s Legacy. Supporting the future.

At the heart of the Eric Lange Memorial Fund are the individuals, teams, and communities we have the privilege to serve as Eric did throughout his life. First, as an athlete and avid outdoorsman himself, and next through a calling as a coach for the Riverdale Jr. Rams.

Every grant and opportunity awarded through our fund is more than financial assistance. It is an investment in character, perseverance, teamwork, and the belief that every young person deserves the chance to grow through athletics and the outdoors.

Whether helping a child participate in a sport they otherwise could not afford, supporting a local athletic program, or recognizing individuals who embody the values Eric lived every day, each recipient carries forward his legacy of hard work, humility, leadership, and service to others.

This page celebrates those lives. Their stories remind us that when a community comes together, we can remove barriers, create opportunities, and inspire the next generation to dream bigger, work harder, and give back.

Because Eric’s legacy isn’t measured by what he left behind— it’s measured by the loves that continue to move forward because of it.
