The Medd family established the 4-6-3 Foundation with the Dakota Medical Foundation in memory of Liam Medd and to support the mission to end teen suicide.

 

Liam was a second baseman, and there is no greater defensive force multiplier in baseball than turning a double play….and for a second baseman that is the 4-6-3 double play. Liam has flipped the ball to us, and it is our job to continue the play and end teen suicide. 

 

The project’s goal is to connect youth and their parents, coaches and mentors with suicide prevention resources and techniques through engagement at youth sporting events, in schools, and in other youth organizations. Our goal is to help youth and families understand that there are not always symptoms or red flags leading to a suicide and to highlight the importance of access to resources, having the difficult conversation and education around mental health.

 

Reduce Stigma. Build Hope. End Suicide.

 

Players will go through a series of hitting stations with the opportunity to find out their hitting exit velocity at the end. The winner with the highest exit velocity of each age group will receive a grab bag from the 4-6-3 Foundation. For 5-8U, there will be a competition for how many balls hit. Winners will be announced on Giving Hearts Day (February 9). Prizes can be picked up at Fargo Youth Baseball/ the ATTIC. This camp is available for any player in any program!

 

All proceeds from the event will go to the 4-6-3 Foundation. If you are unable to attend or would like to make an additional donation on Giving Hearts Day or anytime throughout the year, please visit the link below.
