Support Coach Kruse in His Fight Against Cancer

If you’ve ever had the honor of knowing Coach Kruse, you know he’s the kind of person who shows up—every single time. For nearly 40 years, he’s poured his heart into being a teacher, coach, mentor, husband, father, grandfather, son, brother and friend. Now, it’s our turn to show up for him.

Recently, Coach Kruse was diagnosed with Multiple Myeloma, a rare and serious form of blood cancer. While such a diagnosis would shake most of us, Coach continues to face each day with unshakable faith, discipline, and strength. He often reminds those around him:

“Nothing is permanent, everything is temporary.”

Even now—during the toughest fight of his life—he lifts others up with his words and unwavering spirit.

Coach Kruse has dedicated his life to helping others. Whether it was staying late after practice to support a struggling athlete, offering wisdom to a student, or being a dependable friend in a tough moment, he’s always been there.

Now, as he undergoes grueling treatments—including a stem cell transplant and extended recovery—Coach and his family are facing mounting medical and financial challenges.

Your support can help cover:

Ongoing medical bills and treatment costs

Travel to and from cancer treatment centers

Recovery and aftercare expenses

Household bills while Coach is unable to work

Every donation makes a difference. And if you’re unable to give right now, sharing this page or keeping Coach Kruse in your thoughts and prayers means just as much.

Coach Kruse has spent a lifetime guiding and lifting others. His quick wit, infectious smile, and positive outlook have left a lasting mark on everyone lucky enough to know him. Let’s rally around him with the same strength, encouragement, and love he’s shown us all.

Together, we can help Coach focus on healing, and remind him that he is never alone in this fight.

With faith, love, and gratitude,

Friends of Coach Kruse
