Compete With Heart, Give With Purpose

From October 31 – November 2, 2025, the Evans Legacy Love Foundation,  will host the Evan’s Legacy Tournament—a weekend of baseball, mentorship, and community impact. This isn’t just about wins and losses on the field. It’s about lifting others toward victory and excellence, carrying forward the values that defined Evan Michael Chambers’ life and legacy.

🏟 A Tournament With a Mission

This year’s tournament comes with a challenge that sets it apart. Each of the six participating teams will be tasked with rallying together to raise $200 in support of mentorship, youth development, and community programs.

• 💛 Every team that meets the $200 goal will be recognized for their generosity and commitment.

• 🏆 Teams that go above and beyond—raising more than $200 and showing the most heart, energy, and community spirit—will unlock a $500 donation back into their own baseball program, courtesy of R2 Cares.

This is more than a game. It’s about teaching players the values of leadership, teamwork, and giving back. It’s about competing with heart and giving with purpose.
