🇺🇸 Roy Gayle Memorial Day Baseball Tournament Reminder ⚾

As we get ready for a great weekend of baseball and community, we want to remind everyone of a few park rules to help keep Roy Gayle safe, enjoyable, and family-friendly for all:

🚫 No dogs
🚫 No tailgating
🚫 No alcohol

✅ Be respectful
✅ Be kind
✅ Cheer for all players and help us create a positive environment for kids, coaches, umpires, volunteers, and families

As we enjoy this Memorial Day weekend together, we also want to take a moment to remember the true meaning of Memorial Day. We honor and remember the brave men and women who made the ultimate sacrifice while serving our country and extend our gratitude to the families who carry their legacy forward.

Play ball! 🇺🇸

The Roy Gayle family is deeply saddened to hear of the passing of Heidi Dettman after her courageous battle with colon cancer.

Heidi’s husband, Andy, has been part of the Roy Gayle program for many years. He has been someone we could count on when we needed a coach, a helping hand, or someone willing to step up for the kids and the league. Because of that, the Dettman family is part of our Roy Gayle family, and today we are hurting alongside them.

Please keep Andy, their family, and all who loved Heidi in your thoughts and prayers during this incredibly difficult time.

For those who have asked how they can support the family, we are sharing their GoFundMe link below. Whether through a donation, a prayer, or simply sharing the post, every act of support is appreciated.

Please join us in surrounding the Dettman family with love and support.
