Baseball Explosion

2019 Baseball Explosion

The Second Annual Team Tucker Baseball Explosion was a huge success! Thank you to all of the participants and volunteers!

June 9th was a bit gloomy but the smiles were bright at Glen Lake Optimist Field! Baseball fans of all ages showed up to play, laugh, and show love for Tucker and his favorite sport throughout the afternoon. Many volunteer coaches came together to make the hitting, running, and throwing clinics a ton of fun for the kids. Carnival games and activities, lots of delicious food, and two Home Run Derbies (including the new adult derby!) rounded out the day and contributed to the fundraising success. We are so grateful to all of the volunteers, participants, and sponsors for their support of the Team Tucker Association. See you next year!

Tucker Helstrom was a boy living in the Hopkins community who spent his short 9 1/2 years of life playing sports, laughing with friends and family, and showing love to people in need. Even when cancer took his leg, he continued to find ways to play sports, have fun with friends and family, and continued to worry about others despite having his own major troubles. Ironically, while Tucker showed everyone how to live during his heroic battle with osteosarcoma, he ended up dying. However, his mother, family and his "team" will build the Foundation which will ensure his legacy will live. Tucker, with his amazing strength and attitude, created an explosion reaching those who loved Tucker, whether they met him or just read about him. The Team Tucker Foundation will ensure that even more people will benefit, as it will help other children Play, Laugh, and feel Love.
