0:00:31.320 --> 0:00:33.640
<v Speaker 1>America Lake Fields and the old left hander had a

0:00:33.720 --> 0:00:36.680
<v Speaker 1>vision for building a Hope Center. Imagine, if you will,

0:00:36.920 --> 0:00:41.680
<v Speaker 1>thirty one thousand square foot indoor facility with recreational experiences

0:00:41.680 --> 0:00:44.600
<v Speaker 1>in a variety of different sports. Well, also imagine a

0:00:44.680 --> 0:00:46.600
<v Speaker 1>dream like that cost a lot of money, like twelve

0:00:46.640 --> 0:00:51.000
<v Speaker 1>million dollars. Well, that dream has taken a gigantic and

0:00:51.040 --> 0:00:54.480
<v Speaker 1>I mean gigantic step forward, and what a way to

0:00:54.560 --> 0:00:57.240
<v Speaker 1>ring in twenty twenty six with this news, Let's go

0:01:08.880 --> 0:01:11.800
<v Speaker 2>one of these lame kiffing deals where I can, I can,

0:01:12.080 --> 0:01:13.839
<v Speaker 2>I can leave and I can just get a bunch

0:01:13.880 --> 0:01:17.920
<v Speaker 2>of money in that something. It really is, It really is.

0:01:18.000 --> 0:01:21.039
<v Speaker 1>I don't understand any of it, but a world, a

0:01:21.080 --> 0:01:24.319
<v Speaker 1>world I do understand. There's just incredible news that has

0:01:24.360 --> 0:01:27.679
<v Speaker 1>developed on the front of the Nuxhall Miracle League Fields.

0:01:27.959 --> 0:01:31.440
<v Speaker 1>Let me start with this, explain to listeners what Walt

0:01:31.560 --> 0:01:35.240
<v Speaker 1>Lunsford and Mahttan Foundation initially put up and what the

0:01:35.280 --> 0:01:36.600
<v Speaker 1>response was to it.

0:01:38.080 --> 0:01:41.240
<v Speaker 2>Yeah. So actually, gosh, it's hard to believe that it's

0:01:41.240 --> 0:01:43.720
<v Speaker 2>already been over over two months since we got to

0:01:43.720 --> 0:01:46.920
<v Speaker 2>honor you Lance as our our Joe Nuxsall Humanitarian Award

0:01:47.000 --> 0:01:50.400
<v Speaker 2>winner and our annual Miracle Ball, which was such a

0:01:50.400 --> 0:01:52.480
<v Speaker 2>special night. Now I wanted to make sure Lance that

0:01:52.520 --> 0:01:55.600
<v Speaker 2>we we thanked you again for letting us honor you.

0:01:55.680 --> 0:01:58.880
<v Speaker 2>It was so special to have Kasey and Peyton there

0:01:58.920 --> 0:02:02.040
<v Speaker 2>to speak on your behalf, so many other people who

0:02:02.080 --> 0:02:04.520
<v Speaker 2>came out just to love on you and thank you

0:02:04.600 --> 0:02:07.040
<v Speaker 2>for everything you do for our cause for so many

0:02:07.080 --> 0:02:10.040
<v Speaker 2>nonprofits throughout Cincinnati, and we knew it was going to

0:02:10.080 --> 0:02:13.040
<v Speaker 2>be a special night because of that, But then we

0:02:13.080 --> 0:02:16.880
<v Speaker 2>got to add an additional layer of excitement. Walt lunch

0:02:16.880 --> 0:02:20.560
<v Speaker 2>Heard and the Hatton Foundation have just been incredible supporters

0:02:20.600 --> 0:02:24.120
<v Speaker 2>of ours since since before day one. They were actually

0:02:24.200 --> 0:02:26.520
<v Speaker 2>the folks who when we when we wanted to build

0:02:26.520 --> 0:02:29.400
<v Speaker 2>a miracle League Fields Vacuum twenty eleven, they offered a

0:02:29.400 --> 0:02:32.840
<v Speaker 2>half million dollar matching grant that that was the biggest

0:02:32.880 --> 0:02:35.840
<v Speaker 2>gift in our history up until the night of the

0:02:35.880 --> 0:02:40.040
<v Speaker 2>Miracle Ball, because Walt Lunchford took the stage and announced

0:02:40.040 --> 0:02:43.079
<v Speaker 2>that the Hatton Foundation was going to be offering a

0:02:43.320 --> 0:02:47.520
<v Speaker 2>one million dollar matching grant to help us build the

0:02:47.520 --> 0:02:50.520
<v Speaker 2>Hope Center. So that was our first seven figure gift,

0:02:50.560 --> 0:02:53.400
<v Speaker 2>first million million dollar gift in the history of the

0:02:53.480 --> 0:02:57.639
<v Speaker 2>Nuxhall Foundation. There was there was a little asterisk though

0:02:57.760 --> 0:03:01.160
<v Speaker 2>on there when we got the offer. Not not a

0:03:01.160 --> 0:03:04.120
<v Speaker 2>bad one by any means, but it kind of you know,

0:03:04.800 --> 0:03:06.520
<v Speaker 2>you look at your calendar and you're like, Okay, we

0:03:06.560 --> 0:03:08.679
<v Speaker 2>got to do this quick. Because the goal that the

0:03:08.680 --> 0:03:12.040
<v Speaker 2>Hatton Foundation laid down, they said we would like for

0:03:12.160 --> 0:03:16.560
<v Speaker 2>you all to meet this this grant, this matching gift.

0:03:18.120 --> 0:03:20.720
<v Speaker 2>We'd like you to do it by December thirty first,

0:03:21.200 --> 0:03:25.079
<v Speaker 2>which nobody was counting, but if they were, that was

0:03:25.120 --> 0:03:28.920
<v Speaker 2>sixty eight days. So we had sixty eight days to

0:03:29.000 --> 0:03:32.000
<v Speaker 2>go out and raise a million dollars towards this project.

0:03:33.000 --> 0:03:35.560
<v Speaker 2>Met with lots of people, talked with lots of people,

0:03:35.600 --> 0:03:40.520
<v Speaker 2>had lots of great conversations, and boy lance, it is hard.

0:03:41.120 --> 0:03:43.240
<v Speaker 2>Here we go. We're starting off. I made it eight

0:03:43.320 --> 0:03:46.480
<v Speaker 2>days into twenty twenty six, and I'm crying on air

0:03:46.520 --> 0:03:52.800
<v Speaker 2>with you. Our donors stepped up and donated. They set

0:03:52.800 --> 0:03:55.200
<v Speaker 2>a million's not enough, they said, let's go a quarter more.

0:03:55.280 --> 0:03:59.200
<v Speaker 2>In two months, we raised one point two five million

0:03:59.280 --> 0:04:04.120
<v Speaker 2>dollars to meet and surpass that matching grant. Took the

0:04:04.280 --> 0:04:09.520
<v Speaker 2>total of our campaign to six point six million dollars raised,

0:04:10.360 --> 0:04:14.240
<v Speaker 2>which is just saying it out loud. It still doesn't

0:04:14.240 --> 0:04:16.280
<v Speaker 2>feel real that we've been able to make that kind

0:04:16.320 --> 0:04:18.640
<v Speaker 2>of progress. You know, I shared on stage at the

0:04:18.680 --> 0:04:21.120
<v Speaker 2>Miracle Ball. If you were have talked to us. Back

0:04:21.160 --> 0:04:24.640
<v Speaker 2>in September, our campaign was sitting at about three point

0:04:24.680 --> 0:04:28.320
<v Speaker 2>two million dollars raised. To go from three point two

0:04:28.400 --> 0:04:31.760
<v Speaker 2>million dollars raised in September to end the year at

0:04:31.800 --> 0:04:35.080
<v Speaker 2>six point six million. It's an incredible feeling. And I

0:04:35.160 --> 0:04:37.440
<v Speaker 2>know that we've got a lot of our supporters and

0:04:37.440 --> 0:04:40.200
<v Speaker 2>a lot of our donors out there listening because they

0:04:40.240 --> 0:04:42.240
<v Speaker 2>love you and they listen to your show. And on

0:04:42.320 --> 0:04:46.760
<v Speaker 2>behalf of myself, the Knuxall family, the Hatton Foundation, everybody

0:04:46.800 --> 0:04:49.800
<v Speaker 2>involved in this. We just have to say thank you,

0:04:49.920 --> 0:04:52.599
<v Speaker 2>thank you, thank you for showing us how much you

0:04:52.680 --> 0:04:55.280
<v Speaker 2>believe in this dream, how much you love Joe, how

0:04:55.360 --> 0:04:58.320
<v Speaker 2>much you want to see this facility built. It's an

0:04:58.360 --> 0:04:59.200
<v Speaker 2>incredible feeling.

0:04:59.600 --> 0:05:03.520
<v Speaker 1>I am uh, I have I have chills, I have goosebumps,

0:05:03.680 --> 0:05:07.200
<v Speaker 1>and look, I'm a I'm a I'm a spec in

0:05:07.279 --> 0:05:09.640
<v Speaker 1>the big picture of all of this, but that night

0:05:10.560 --> 0:05:13.400
<v Speaker 1>was was life changing for me and for my family.

0:05:13.560 --> 0:05:17.839
<v Speaker 1>I'm still recalling moments that I didn't realize were actually

0:05:17.880 --> 0:05:20.640
<v Speaker 1>happening in real time. I'm realizing they were happening now,

0:05:20.680 --> 0:05:22.960
<v Speaker 1>which is incredible. What Larry Tischler told me, he said,

0:05:23.080 --> 0:05:25.200
<v Speaker 1>so call this in because you're not going to realize

0:05:25.200 --> 0:05:28.440
<v Speaker 1>everything that happened, and he was exactly right. But I

0:05:28.680 --> 0:05:31.440
<v Speaker 1>what you just laid out, and if you're crying. That

0:05:31.520 --> 0:05:33.560
<v Speaker 1>means Kim is crying, and that means I'm about to

0:05:33.560 --> 0:05:34.479
<v Speaker 1>cry hearing all this.

0:05:34.720 --> 0:05:37.240
<v Speaker 2>Yeah, but if I'm if, I'm if I'm crying Kims

0:05:37.320 --> 0:05:39.000
<v Speaker 2>and crying for two or three days exactly.

0:05:39.360 --> 0:05:42.680
<v Speaker 1>But to do this, and you allude to this in

0:05:42.960 --> 0:05:47.400
<v Speaker 1>the release, this isn't one person or two or a handful.

0:05:47.480 --> 0:05:51.360
<v Speaker 1>This is the power of community getting something done. Yeah,

0:05:51.560 --> 0:05:54.719
<v Speaker 1>I mean hundreds, hundreds of donations that came in. I mean, lance,

0:05:54.839 --> 0:05:58.520
<v Speaker 1>I I'm not the fastest guy responding to emails, but

0:05:58.800 --> 0:06:00.040
<v Speaker 1>I am still.

0:06:00.080 --> 0:06:05.720
<v Speaker 2>Answering emails from people who donated back in back in December,

0:06:05.880 --> 0:06:09.560
<v Speaker 2>and and I think the amazing thing was was first

0:06:09.600 --> 0:06:14.360
<v Speaker 2>time donors. I have to share a couple stories. One

0:06:14.400 --> 0:06:18.320
<v Speaker 2>in particular, we had a gentleman and his family, Dave Welsh,

0:06:18.320 --> 0:06:20.760
<v Speaker 2>who stopped out at the fields. He'd never been there,

0:06:20.800 --> 0:06:23.080
<v Speaker 2>He'd always wanted to come out, he always wanted to

0:06:23.080 --> 0:06:26.760
<v Speaker 2>stop by, wanted to check the place out. And Kim,

0:06:27.000 --> 0:06:29.159
<v Speaker 2>you know, you just talked about the stars aligning. Kim

0:06:29.279 --> 0:06:31.760
<v Speaker 2>happened to be there. It was probably about thirty minutes

0:06:31.800 --> 0:06:34.960
<v Speaker 2>before he was headed to grab lunch at Skyline on

0:06:35.040 --> 0:06:38.000
<v Speaker 2>Hicks Boulevard, and he talked with Dave for a while.

0:06:38.040 --> 0:06:40.640
<v Speaker 2>I met with him a few days later, and a

0:06:40.640 --> 0:06:43.080
<v Speaker 2>few days after Thanksgiving, Dave reached out and said, our

0:06:43.080 --> 0:06:46.039
<v Speaker 2>family is just so touched by this, this dream and

0:06:46.080 --> 0:06:48.479
<v Speaker 2>what you guys are doing, and we would like to

0:06:48.520 --> 0:06:52.560
<v Speaker 2>donate a half million dollars to name the court in

0:06:52.600 --> 0:06:55.320
<v Speaker 2>the arena so that that court, which is going to

0:06:55.400 --> 0:06:59.560
<v Speaker 2>host special Olympics basketball games and special needs proms and

0:06:59.640 --> 0:07:02.039
<v Speaker 2>theater performances and all kinds of things, that'll be the

0:07:02.040 --> 0:07:05.000
<v Speaker 2>Welsh Family Court at the Hope Center. And we're so

0:07:05.160 --> 0:07:09.720
<v Speaker 2>thankful to them for doing that. My other favorite was, like,

0:07:10.280 --> 0:07:13.080
<v Speaker 2>I want to say this was probably the thirtieth of December.

0:07:13.080 --> 0:07:15.560
<v Speaker 2>I get a call number I don't recognize. I answered,

0:07:15.600 --> 0:07:18.200
<v Speaker 2>that's a guy. He said, Hey, I actually I'm on

0:07:18.240 --> 0:07:19.920
<v Speaker 2>my way to Kim Knoxall's house. I got a check

0:07:19.960 --> 0:07:22.680
<v Speaker 2>I want to drop off for fifty thousand dollars. And

0:07:23.560 --> 0:07:26.560
<v Speaker 2>it was just like, you know, just jaw dropping to

0:07:26.640 --> 0:07:30.480
<v Speaker 2>see people respond to this message to the local news organizations,

0:07:30.520 --> 0:07:32.440
<v Speaker 2>and you all helped us get the story out to

0:07:32.520 --> 0:07:35.800
<v Speaker 2>brand new people. I would venture to say I haven't

0:07:35.840 --> 0:07:37.760
<v Speaker 2>run the numbers, but I would venture to say fifty

0:07:37.840 --> 0:07:40.640
<v Speaker 2>to sixty percent of the people who donated to help

0:07:40.720 --> 0:07:43.240
<v Speaker 2>us get to that one point two to five million raised.

0:07:43.400 --> 0:07:47.360
<v Speaker 2>We're brand new, first time donors. That's an incredible thing.

0:07:47.760 --> 0:07:50.280
<v Speaker 2>It's really amazing to see the response from all of

0:07:50.360 --> 0:07:53.960
<v Speaker 2>Cincinnati to want to make this happen. But whether it

0:07:54.040 --> 0:07:56.160
<v Speaker 2>was a five dollars donation or whether it was a

0:07:56.160 --> 0:07:59.360
<v Speaker 2>half million dollar donation, they all added up to do

0:07:59.560 --> 0:08:01.760
<v Speaker 2>something absolutely remarkable.

0:08:02.400 --> 0:08:04.920
<v Speaker 1>And Tyler, in and around all that, I just flashed

0:08:04.960 --> 0:08:08.280
<v Speaker 1>to a memory that has forever burned in my head

0:08:08.280 --> 0:08:10.800
<v Speaker 1>and in Kelly's head, back to that the evening of

0:08:10.920 --> 0:08:14.360
<v Speaker 1>hope that you had and yeah, and seeing one of

0:08:14.400 --> 0:08:17.480
<v Speaker 1>the young boys who's part of the Nuts on America

0:08:17.560 --> 0:08:18.360
<v Speaker 1>League family.

0:08:18.160 --> 0:08:21.800
<v Speaker 3>Danger, I know, I know what story takes his piggy

0:08:21.840 --> 0:08:24.040
<v Speaker 3>bank and he sets it down on the stage and

0:08:24.080 --> 0:08:27.320
<v Speaker 3>he puts on goggles and he takes a bat and

0:08:27.360 --> 0:08:30.080
<v Speaker 3>he bashes down on it, and all the money that

0:08:30.160 --> 0:08:33.280
<v Speaker 3>comes out he donated that night for an evening of

0:08:33.280 --> 0:08:33.560
<v Speaker 3>a hope.

0:08:33.600 --> 0:08:35.200
<v Speaker 1>And that the hair is standing up on my arms

0:08:35.240 --> 0:08:36.520
<v Speaker 1>as I say that right now.

0:08:36.679 --> 0:08:41.080
<v Speaker 2>Yep, yep, for sixty three cents, and we've still got

0:08:41.080 --> 0:08:43.680
<v Speaker 2>the the glass yards from the piggy bank and I

0:08:43.720 --> 0:08:47.800
<v Speaker 2>can tell you we're we're gonna display those in the

0:08:47.840 --> 0:08:52.439
<v Speaker 2>Hope Center someday because it's that kind of giving, you know.

0:08:52.559 --> 0:08:56.560
<v Speaker 2>And Lance, I mean Sam, Sam uses a walker. Sam

0:08:56.640 --> 0:08:59.920
<v Speaker 2>has had some some he was diagnosed with dwarf Ism

0:09:00.960 --> 0:09:04.800
<v Speaker 2>after he was born. And to see the smile on

0:09:04.840 --> 0:09:08.080
<v Speaker 2>Sam's face every Saturday when he comes out there, to

0:09:08.120 --> 0:09:10.720
<v Speaker 2>see him talk about what this building would mean for him,

0:09:10.800 --> 0:09:13.240
<v Speaker 2>not just next year, the following year, but for the

0:09:13.360 --> 0:09:15.440
<v Speaker 2>entirety of his life, that he'll have a place where

0:09:15.480 --> 0:09:18.199
<v Speaker 2>he can go that will meet his needs, that will

0:09:18.240 --> 0:09:22.560
<v Speaker 2>be there to serve his family, It's unbelievable. And I

0:09:22.600 --> 0:09:24.760
<v Speaker 2>mean you you know. That night at the Evening for Hope,

0:09:25.320 --> 0:09:27.880
<v Speaker 2>that was another incredible reason that we were able to

0:09:28.960 --> 0:09:30.960
<v Speaker 2>make such a big jump here over the past few months.

0:09:31.000 --> 0:09:33.480
<v Speaker 2>Are Our board members Ron Ready and Chad Kiddell put

0:09:33.520 --> 0:09:37.040
<v Speaker 2>on an incredible event and we were very transparent with people.

0:09:37.040 --> 0:09:39.839
<v Speaker 2>We were asking people to come out and make three

0:09:39.920 --> 0:09:43.000
<v Speaker 2>year pledges to support this project, and we had a

0:09:43.000 --> 0:09:45.360
<v Speaker 2>couple hundred people there in attendance with us that night.

0:09:45.400 --> 0:09:49.040
<v Speaker 2>Our family shared their stories, including Sam and his family,

0:09:49.160 --> 0:09:52.040
<v Speaker 2>and we had our supporters pledge about eight hundred and

0:09:52.080 --> 0:09:55.920
<v Speaker 2>ninety thousand, and that's separate from the one point two

0:09:55.920 --> 0:09:58.200
<v Speaker 2>to five million that I'm talking about that was raised

0:09:58.200 --> 0:10:02.400
<v Speaker 2>through the Hatton Foundation MAT grant, and every donation more

0:10:02.440 --> 0:10:05.120
<v Speaker 2>than the more than the money that ends up in

0:10:05.160 --> 0:10:08.280
<v Speaker 2>the total line lance. It's it's a vote of confidence

0:10:08.280 --> 0:10:11.960
<v Speaker 2>from people who say, yes, we need this, Yes this

0:10:12.120 --> 0:10:14.840
<v Speaker 2>is something that will benefit our family, that will benefit

0:10:14.880 --> 0:10:17.959
<v Speaker 2>our community. That's what every time I see these donations,

0:10:17.960 --> 0:10:20.120
<v Speaker 2>that's what I think is that it's not just somebody

0:10:20.440 --> 0:10:23.000
<v Speaker 2>giving their money, although that's a that's a you know,

0:10:23.240 --> 0:10:28.080
<v Speaker 2>that's a really worthy thing to do. They're giving us

0:10:28.240 --> 0:10:31.640
<v Speaker 2>their support and they are giving us their validation that

0:10:31.720 --> 0:10:35.600
<v Speaker 2>a project like this matters. And that encouragement coupled with

0:10:35.920 --> 0:10:38.599
<v Speaker 2>a dream from the old left hander himself. I don't know,

0:10:38.679 --> 0:10:40.719
<v Speaker 2>I don't know what more you need to want to

0:10:40.760 --> 0:10:42.280
<v Speaker 2>work for this every single day.

0:10:42.440 --> 0:10:45.600
<v Speaker 1>Tyler will will in fact, will shovels go on the

0:10:45.640 --> 0:10:48.920
<v Speaker 1>ground in twenty twenty six, and if so, tell listeners

0:10:49.160 --> 0:10:51.840
<v Speaker 1>where where exactly the location is and where the shovels

0:10:51.880 --> 0:10:52.200
<v Speaker 1>will go.

0:10:53.400 --> 0:10:56.079
<v Speaker 2>Yeah. The only way I'm gonna be able to prevent

0:10:56.200 --> 0:10:58.480
<v Speaker 2>Larry Tishler from putting a shovel in the ground is

0:10:58.480 --> 0:11:01.560
<v Speaker 2>if I find a straight jacket and Larry might have

0:11:01.720 --> 0:11:05.520
<v Speaker 2>his shovel right now driving out to the field. So

0:11:05.720 --> 0:11:09.600
<v Speaker 2>the beautiful part about this is the building is going

0:11:09.800 --> 0:11:11.840
<v Speaker 2>Let me answer right out of the gate real quick though, Yes,

0:11:11.920 --> 0:11:13.880
<v Speaker 2>shovels are going in the ground in twenty twenty six.

0:11:13.960 --> 0:11:16.280
<v Speaker 2>Based on these sundraising totals of what we're seeing, we

0:11:16.400 --> 0:11:18.600
<v Speaker 2>are going to be able to break ground in twenty

0:11:18.640 --> 0:11:21.280
<v Speaker 2>twenty six. Obviously, we still got a long way to go.

0:11:22.000 --> 0:11:25.760
<v Speaker 2>We still need to raise around five and a half

0:11:25.800 --> 0:11:28.760
<v Speaker 2>million dollars left, so that's we need to get to

0:11:28.760 --> 0:11:31.400
<v Speaker 2>ten million to completely build the building and then another

0:11:31.440 --> 0:11:35.840
<v Speaker 2>two million for a maintenance and operations endowments. But we

0:11:35.960 --> 0:11:41.479
<v Speaker 2>are planning to break ground this year. The building itself

0:11:42.000 --> 0:11:45.360
<v Speaker 2>the beautiful part about it. It will be positioned adjacent

0:11:45.559 --> 0:11:49.079
<v Speaker 2>to the Miracle League Fields where they are right now.

0:11:49.120 --> 0:11:50.760
<v Speaker 2>So if you are standing in the parking lot at

0:11:50.800 --> 0:11:53.440
<v Speaker 2>the Miracle League Fields to your left hand side, the

0:11:53.480 --> 0:11:56.240
<v Speaker 2>building will basically be right there. Sot'll share a parking

0:11:56.280 --> 0:11:59.960
<v Speaker 2>lot with our currently existing facility. And the reason I

0:12:00.080 --> 0:12:02.800
<v Speaker 2>say that's a beautiful thing is because for our families,

0:12:03.480 --> 0:12:07.360
<v Speaker 2>predictability is so important to them. If we can give

0:12:07.440 --> 0:12:11.600
<v Speaker 2>them a predictable routine that they can follow, whether they're

0:12:11.640 --> 0:12:13.600
<v Speaker 2>coming to play a baseball game, whether they're coming to

0:12:13.600 --> 0:12:16.120
<v Speaker 2>play mini golf, coming to hear a nutrition class, coming

0:12:16.160 --> 0:12:18.960
<v Speaker 2>to play basketball, whatever it is, If we can give

0:12:19.000 --> 0:12:21.680
<v Speaker 2>them a place that they're comfortable, that they're familiar with,

0:12:21.840 --> 0:12:24.000
<v Speaker 2>that takes a little bit of that that work out

0:12:24.040 --> 0:12:26.400
<v Speaker 2>of the equation of raising a child or an adult

0:12:26.520 --> 0:12:29.720
<v Speaker 2>with with physical or developmental disabilities, it makes all the difference.

0:12:30.400 --> 0:12:33.840
<v Speaker 2>So so with the addition of this building, we will create,

0:12:34.200 --> 0:12:37.000
<v Speaker 2>you know, what we think is the world's most comprehensive,

0:12:37.240 --> 0:12:40.880
<v Speaker 2>inclusive recreational campus for athletes with special needs. Because whether

0:12:40.920 --> 0:12:45.480
<v Speaker 2>it's indoor, outdoor, summer, winter, it'll all be right there

0:12:45.960 --> 0:12:48.480
<v Speaker 2>on that one plot of land. It's going to be

0:12:48.480 --> 0:12:50.520
<v Speaker 2>really cool to see it all kind of build out

0:12:50.520 --> 0:12:54.160
<v Speaker 2>there and complement one another. And the best part about it,

0:12:54.720 --> 0:12:58.000
<v Speaker 2>no more rain delays for us. If you know, if

0:12:58.040 --> 0:12:59.880
<v Speaker 2>it does rain during a baseball game, will just be

0:13:00.160 --> 0:13:02.000
<v Speaker 2>to shift everything indoors.

0:13:01.720 --> 0:13:04.839
<v Speaker 1>All right before I run out of time, and to

0:13:04.920 --> 0:13:07.600
<v Speaker 1>keep the momentum going. For those listening who say, wait

0:13:07.600 --> 0:13:08.880
<v Speaker 1>a minute, I want to be a part of that.

0:13:08.960 --> 0:13:10.120
<v Speaker 1>How do they go about doing that?

0:13:11.280 --> 0:13:14.959
<v Speaker 2>Yeah, just jump on our website Nutsawmiracle League dot org

0:13:15.120 --> 0:13:18.440
<v Speaker 2>slash Hope. If you go on our website, there's opportunities

0:13:18.440 --> 0:13:20.920
<v Speaker 2>to give there. You can watch an incredible virtual fly

0:13:21.080 --> 0:13:25.400
<v Speaker 2>through a video of the building narrated by our friend,

0:13:25.400 --> 0:13:28.400
<v Speaker 2>the Hall of Famer Marty Brenhaman. I've watched that video

0:13:28.520 --> 0:13:33.199
<v Speaker 2>about seven and forty eight times and it never gets old,

0:13:33.240 --> 0:13:36.400
<v Speaker 2>and especially hearing hearing Marty talk about what that dream

0:13:36.440 --> 0:13:38.640
<v Speaker 2>meant to Joe. So check out the video. You can

0:13:38.679 --> 0:13:41.439
<v Speaker 2>give online. You can also reach out to us at

0:13:41.440 --> 0:13:44.920
<v Speaker 2>the Nutsall Foundation. We're happy to discuss giving plans, happy

0:13:44.920 --> 0:13:49.240
<v Speaker 2>to discuss giving opportunities, naming rights, corporate sponsorships, whatever it

0:13:49.280 --> 0:13:51.400
<v Speaker 2>may be. But you know, Lance, as you saw that

0:13:51.480 --> 0:13:53.880
<v Speaker 2>night at the Evening for Hope, what this will mean

0:13:53.960 --> 0:13:57.400
<v Speaker 2>to our families, you know, many of which you just

0:13:57.480 --> 0:14:00.320
<v Speaker 2>deal with challenge after challenge every single day. We can

0:14:00.360 --> 0:14:02.760
<v Speaker 2>take some of those roadblocks out of the out of

0:14:02.760 --> 0:14:05.880
<v Speaker 2>the way for them and give them opportunities to do

0:14:05.960 --> 0:14:08.920
<v Speaker 2>things that unfortunately they've been told their child or their

0:14:08.960 --> 0:14:12.000
<v Speaker 2>loved ones never going to have an opportunity to do. Uh,

0:14:12.120 --> 0:14:14.480
<v Speaker 2>That's what it's all about and that's what this building

0:14:14.600 --> 0:14:17.480
<v Speaker 2>will do. It will create that hope that they deserve.

0:14:18.160 --> 0:14:20.840
<v Speaker 1>You know, we love you guys, pass along our best

0:14:20.880 --> 0:14:23.000
<v Speaker 1>to everybody, and we hope to see you soon.

0:14:24.080 --> 0:14:26.120
<v Speaker 2>Yeah. And Lance, you joked at the Miracle Ball that

0:14:26.160 --> 0:14:27.920
<v Speaker 2>we all thought you were going to pass out. I

0:14:28.520 --> 0:14:31.320
<v Speaker 2>didn't show you the stretcher we had underneath the state

0:14:31.560 --> 0:14:33.960
<v Speaker 2>just in case that happened. We had some some salts

0:14:33.960 --> 0:14:36.840
<v Speaker 2>and cool pals things like that. But you're you did

0:14:36.840 --> 0:14:39.600
<v Speaker 2>an incredible job. And Lance, I'll say you your your

0:14:39.600 --> 0:14:44.320
<v Speaker 2>speech still sharing Casey's story. That meant so much to

0:14:44.360 --> 0:14:46.600
<v Speaker 2>me as a father, It meant so much to our

0:14:46.640 --> 0:14:49.160
<v Speaker 2>families who who deal with struggles. We're going to be
