Childhood cancer is one of them.
FIGHTING CANCER, ONE SWING AT A TIME
Some battles in life are too big to fight alone.
Our Founder’s Story: A Fight That Hits Home
The fight against cancer is deeply personal for Jess, the heart and soul behind this movement. Jess is currently battling terminal colorectal cancer, but his fight isn’t just about himself—it’s about his children, too. Two of his four kids, Brey and Carson, have familial adenomatous polyposis (FAP)—a genetic condition that drastically increases their risk of developing colorectal cancer.
At 17, Brey underwent a prophylactic colectomy—a grueling 15-hour surgery to remove his colon, appendix, and gallbladder to stop cancer before it could start. For those with familial adenomatous polyposis (FAP), this surgery is the best way to eliminate the risk of colorectal cancer. Soon, Carson, at just 14, will face the same procedure. These surgeries come with lifelong challenges—strict dietary restrictions, constant medical monitoring, and a childhood forever shaped by the fight against cancer.
Rather than letting cancer define their lives, Jess chose to take action. He turned his own struggles into a nationwide movement, Jess’ Cancer Crushers, to help others facing the same heart-wrenching realities. Jess’ fight is not just about him—it’s about his children, and all children, who should never have to worry about life being cut short by cancer.
Through Jess’ Cancer Crushers, Jess hopes to help families focus on what truly matters—making memories with their children—while easing the financial burden of medical expenses.
SPONSORING CANCER WARRIORS ACROSS THE COUNTRY
It all started with a simple idea: to turn our love of the game into something bigger than ourselves. A way to take the energy we bring to the field and use it to lift up families who need it most. What began as a group of friends and teammates coming together has grown into a movement—one where every pitch, every swing, and every tournament carries a greater purpose.
Because when a child is diagnosed with cancer, it doesn’t just change their life—it changes everything. Their parents suddenly become caregivers, their siblings learn to navigate fear and uncertainty, and their world shrinks to hospital rooms and waiting areas. But through it all, these kids show a strength beyond their years. They fight with everything they have. And we believe they shouldn’t have to do it alone.
That’s why we play—for kids like Hayden, Ian, Collins, and Mykah, four incredible child cancer warriors who inspire us every day. They remind us why this fight matters and why we can’t stop now.
Our mission doesn’t end with them. We are stepping up to the plate to sponsor child cancer warriors across the country, ensuring that more families get the support, resources, and hope they need.

More Than a Team, a Family
Jess’ Cancer Crushers is more than just a name on a jersey. It’s a promise. A promise to show up, to give back, and to remind these kids that there’s a team behind them—cheering them on, fighting for breakthroughs, and funding the research that could change everything.
We play for the kids who inspire us. We fundraise for the families who need hope. We bring our community together because no one should face cancer alone.
