If your soccer-loving child or teen has ever been lucky enough to be coached by Stephan Tallman, you know he's so much more than just a soccer coach. Stephan is a mentor, a motivator, and a steady, kind presence in the lives of countless families over the years.

Stephan's car was stolen last week. As devastating as that is on its own, what makes it even more heartbreaking is what was inside the car: all of his soccer gear and training equipment, but most painfully for Stephan were the handwritten messages from kids he’s coached over the years.

These letters were priceless to him. They were tokens of gratitude, success stories, memories of growth, and moments that reminded him why he does what he does. To lose them, along with the tools he uses every day, is a tremendous emotional blow.

We’re "Soccer Moms" coming together to help Stephan.

Our GOAL (see what I did there?)

1) To replace the gear he needs to continue coaching

2) Make a down payment on a new vehicle

3) Show him how much he means to all of us.

**We may not be able to bring back the original notes, but we can write new ones! (instructions on delivery to follow)

Let's surround Stephan with the same support and love he’s shown our kids over the years.

Whether your kiddo was coached by Stephan or you simply believe in supporting people who uplift others, we ask you to donate whatever you can.

Every bit helps, and every $ is a reminder that his impact is far from forgotten.

Let’s return the love and support he’s given so many of us.

Thank you from the bottom of our hearts!

Kellie Baucom, Mary Murphy, and Jen Snee
