Honoring Those We’ve Lost

in memory

UMPS Strikes Out Cancer Foundation dedicates this page to honoring the memory of amateur sports officials who have courageously faced cancer and other serious illnesses. These individuals were not just officials but also leaders, mentors, and cherished members of the sports community. Their legacy continues to inspire us to support those who are still battling and to carry forward their commitment to the game and their communities.
