"Happy Mail" Care Packages for the Kotouch Kids

One of our beloved South Florida baseball families has suffered a heartbreaking loss.

No matter what team we’re on, we’re united as one—and when one of us hurts, we all feel it.

This past weekend, the Kotouch family experienced an unimaginable tragedy, losing their incredible wife and mother, Marissa, unexpectedly. She leaves behind her husband Ron and their four beautiful children: Liam, Collin, Declan, and baby Cate.

There is so much love surrounding this family, and we want to make sure they feel it not just today, but in the weeks and months to come.

With that in mind, we are organizing “Happy Mail” care packages for the kids. Our hope is that these surprise arrivals, filled with fun goodies and joyful diversions, will erase the miles that separate us from the Kotouch family, show them how much we love them and, most importantly, bring smiles to the faces of Marissa's little ones.

Every bit of support will help lift them up during this time.

If you feel moved to help, please consider donating directly to this GoFundMe. Funds raised will support the “Happy Mail” efforts, with any excess passed on to Ron so he has the flexibility to use them where the kids need them most.

Please also feel free to send any photo memories of the Kotouch family or letters/cards/drawings your kids create . We will include them in the next box being shipped. Or, if you (or your baseball team) would like to create your own Happy Mail box for the Kotouch kids, please let us know and we will provide you with more information and the address.

Let’s wrap this family in the love they’ve always shown to others.
