As we close out 2023, we look back at what was accomplished the past 12 months. Bringing awareness on buses and at the FC Cincinnati games of organ donation, saving lives via the third blood drive we did in Nick’s honor, and a toy drive for New Path.

But looking back on 2023, we want to give thanks to all of your support this year and since Nick’s passing. Just a few days after Nick passed, friends of his started a petition, then another petition. During 2024, two of Nick’s classmates and lady soccer players for Taylor, took that support and made it their mission to name the soccer stadium after Nick. Through their hard work and the assistance of their teacher Bryan Kestner, Bryn Stokes and Drew Kantz’s Passion Project was achieved prior to the end of the 2023 soccer season. Their hard work gained the funds to be presented to the TRLSB and signage was placed above the field. Along with Drew and Bryn, we especially offer our thanks to Dr. Ault, our District Superintendent, the One Holland Group for their matching donation, and all the donors to make this happen. Not only does it put the foundation and Nick’s name out in the community in a different aspect, but it also touches the heart of Nick’s friends, the Cordrey family…especially Richard, Aimée and Darren.  

We cannot thank you enough and look forward an even better 2024.
