join us in making an impact

Your donation is an investment in the young athletes, teams, and communities that meant so much to Eric. Football was never just a game to him. It was a place to build confidence, discipline, friendships, and lifelong memories.

Many youth football programs throughout the Quad Cities area face ongoing challenges, from outdated equipment and limited resources to families struggling to afford basic necessities like cleats, uniforms, and registration fees. Through this memorial fundraiser, we hope to ease some of those burdens and provide direct support where it is needed most. Every donation helps create opportunities for young athletes to participate, grow, and thrive both on and off the field.

Giving in Eric’s memory also means continuing the spirit of generosity, mentorship, and community that defined his life. Though his time as a coach was far too short, the encouragement he gave to young players left a lasting impact on the people around him. Your support helps ensure that same encouragement reaches future generations of athletes for years to come.

Together, we can honor Eric not only by remembering him, but by carrying forward the values he lived every day: hard work, leadership, compassion, and love for his community. Thank you for helping us turn remembrance into action and support into opportunity for local youth football programs.
