Stevie's World of Wiffleball

12/24/2025

This Christmas season, our hearts are overflowing with gratitude, hope, and awe at what can be achieved through willing hearts—no matter how small they may seem.

Before and during this year’s Stevie’s World event, two incredible sisters, Hadley and Jojo, set out with a simple goal: to make a difference. Through the sale of their self designed Stevie’s World bracelets, these two kids raised an amazing $700, purely out of love, compassion, and a desire to serve others.

Jojo is especially close to our hearts, as she was once a Stevie’s World Kid herself. Now, alongside her sister Hadley, she’s living proof that our presence has a purpose.

Because of their extraordinary hearts and servant leadership, Stevie’s World is honored to match their donation, bringing the total gift to $1,500, which will be given to a local family—James and Danielle Smith and their 12 children—to bless them during this Christmas season.

Hadley and Jojo remind us that you don’t have to be grown, wealthy, or famous to change the world. Sometimes, it’s just two kids saying “yes” to choosing kindness and generosity.

At Christmas, we celebrate the greatest gift ever given; the hope that came to us through the birth of a child. A Savior who showed us what love looks like, what sacrifice means, and how serving others changes everything.

To Hadley and Jojo: thank you for showing us that love through your actions.

To our Stevie’s World family: thank you for believing, giving, and serving alongside us.

And to everyone reading this: Merry Christmas. May this season fill your hearts with peace, hope, and a renewed desire to love others well. ❤️

This week, we had the absolute joy of presenting checks to our Stevie’s World Kids, Cooper and Larkin. Thanks to the incredible generosity of our community, each child received $15,000 to support their journeys.

And the giving didn’t stop there! Together with our friends at the BIL Bash Pickleball Smash, we also raised an additional $5,000 for Blake, another amazing kid whose story has inspired so many in the Stevie’s World family.

As we reflect on this season of giving, our hearts are full. These funds don’t just help with medical, travel, and accessibility needs, they remind our families that they’re surrounded by a community that sees them, supports them, and refuses to let them walk their hard days alone.

To every donor, sponsor, player, volunteer, and cheerleader: thank you. You make Stevie’s World more than an event: You make it a movement of hope.

Every dollar given, every hour volunteered, every share and shout-out… it all matters more than you know.

This year stretched us, inspired us, and showed us once again how powerful it is when people choose generosity.

And if you think 2025 was big… just wait until next year. We’re dreaming bigger, planning louder, and can’t wait to share what’s ahead.

From all of us at Stevie’s World of Wiffle Ball, and from Cooper, Larkin, and Blake’s families:

🎄❤️ Merry Christmas, Happy Holidays, and thank you for helping us bring light to families who need it most. ❤️🎄

From the bottom of our hearts, thank you. 💙

We are so grateful for every single person who came out, donated, and showed their support. It was an amazing day. One that we’ll never forget.

Cooper came home saying how “cool” it was and that he already wants to go back! Seeing so many people gathered together for something so good moved us to tears. We were wonderfully overwhelmed by the love and kindness all around.

This experience wasn’t about our family, it was about all of you — your generosity, your encouragement, and your presence. We are beyond honored to have been a part of it.

With love,
Cooper & Family

When a community comes together, they can do anything— even build a field of dreams.

Thank you, Springfield, for being the hits, hype, and heart of Stevie’s World!

A real-life field of dreams — inspired by the 1989 film of the same name — came to life in Springfield over the weekend for the 20th annual Stevie’s World Wiffleball fundraiser.

Tecumseh students are involved in positive things!
On Saturday September 20th, a group of Tecumseh 5th and 6th graders participated in Stevie's World of Wiffleball Tournament in Springfield. This event is the second largest wiffleball tournament in the nation and all proceeds benefit local youth battling medical issues.
New Carlisle Elementary fifth graders Jackson Billeter, AJ Glenn, Myles Horn, and Declan Whalen, along with Tecumseh Middle School sixth graders Tanner Daniel and Phoenix Means played in the tournament as the New Carlisle Monkeys. The Monkeys didn't win the tournament but made it to the semifinals after eight hours of wiffle ball games!
⚾🏏❤️🖤⚾🏏❤️🖤
We love hearing about Tecumseh students who are out there doing great things and making a difference!👏👏👏👏👏

Stevie’s World would like to extend our condolences to the family of Clyde Suttles, owner of C and S Tree Service, and a sponsor of Stevie’s World. Clyde’s daughter was killed in a bicycle accident over the weekend.

We ask for continued prayers and comfort as the Suttles family navigates life after this sudden and tragic loss.

🚌 ♥️Update from LifeWise Academy- Northeastern Local OH about their bus💛

“Thank you, Stevie’s World Family, for the outpouring of love!

Big shoutout to Rush Trucks and Wayne’s World of Glass for getting our bus door fixed first thing Monday morning 🙌, and to Trinity Missionary Church for generously covering the cost. ❤️

Mason’s shoulder, however, is still proof of two things:
1) a bus can be replaced, people can’t… and
2) no matter how hard you hustle, you can’t win a shoulder check against a bus. 😉”

Continued prayers for quick healing for Mason ❤️‍🩹

A Letter from Stevie’s World President, John:

This morning I woke up with a grateful heart, still reflecting on what an incredible day yesterday was at Stevie’s World. What we witnessed together was more than just Wiffleball—it was community at its very best.

To every team that showed up to play, every fan who filled the fields with energy, every food truck and organization that kept us going, and every sponsor who chose to stand with us—thank you. And to our volunteers… you are the heartbeat of Stevie’s World. None of this happens without you.

Yesterday, I was reminded again of the generous hearts of the Stevie’s World family. You didn’t have to, but you CHOSE to show up. You chose to donate. You chose to come together—not just for Wiffleball, but to make a difference for kids and families who need to know they’re not alone.

Above all, yesterday was about making kids like Cooper, Larkin, and Blake feel seen and supported. And it was about pledging never to forget Rikki Lynn and Autumn—their lives and their stories continue to inspire everything we do.

From the bottom of my heart—thank you for being part of this. We are humbled, we are grateful… and we are fired up for what’s ahead. If yesterday showed us anything, it’s that Stevie’s World is only growing—louder, bigger, and stronger every year.

We can’t wait to see you back on the fields next year, ready for more hits, hype, and heart. 🔥❤️

And remember—there’s still time to make a difference. If you weren’t able to give yesterday, you can still donate and help us raise even more for kids and families in our community: www.steviesworld.org/donate

If giving financially isn’t possible right now, you can still support us in a big way—by sharing, liking, and engaging with our posts. Every click helps spread the word and keeps the spirit of Stevie’s World growing. 💗

With gratitude,
John & the Stevie’s World Family
