It is with heavy hearts that we inform all of our SWISH & G-Ball families of the loss of 2 of our beloved members. Heidi & Kirsten DeBellotte were on their way home last Saturday evening and were struck by a drunk driver; both lives were lost.
Heidi and Kirsten were instrumental in the success of both of our leagues. Heidi, a board member with SWISH for more than 8 years, helping with all the behind the scene tasks and volunteering countless hours on the weekends at the T-Shirt table, and snack table for G-Ball. Kirsten was one of our most committed coaches for both leagues, coaching his own daughters, and continuing on every year afterwards; he’s been coaching with both leagues for more than 10 years.
Their commitment to our youth and the community was never ending and always a priority. Both will be immensely missed and we will cherish the memories we have of them both.
Their daughters, Tanisha & Taylor, have also coached and volunteered countless hours to both of our leagues. We will forever be grateful for all of their contributions.
A GoFundMe fundraiser has been started to help with expenses for Tanisha & Taylor, as they try to navigate their next steps.
