Love, Patti
2025 Event – 2nd Annual
Love, Patti Family Fun Day &
Coinciding Adult Co-Ed Softball Tournament
Saturday, August 23, 2025
Hatters Park, Danbury, CT
12:00 PM – 8:00 PM
Join us for the 2nd Annual Love, Patti Family Fun Day and Coinciding Adult Co-Ed Softball Tournament – a powerful, joyful celebration of community, connection, and remembrance. We gather in honor of Patti—a beloved mom, daughter, wife, sister, aunt, instructor, coach, neighbor, and friend who inspired others with her strength, heart, and joy.
Patti was strong in every sense of the word, but she lost her courageous battle with stomach cancer at the age of 39. She is survived by her daughter (10), son (7), husband, parents, brother, sister, nieces, nephews, cousins, aunts, uncles, and countless friends who carry her memory forward with love.
Patti lifted people up—both on and off the field. This event continues her legacy by bringing people together to lift others in her name.
Proceeds benefit Ann’s Place in Danbury and scholarships awarded to students from two schools that were especially meaningful to Patti—one she graduated from in 1998 and later returned to as a volunteer coach and supporter of their annual feast, and the other where she briefly taught before she had to take a step back due to her battle.

💜 Why We Gather
This day is about more than just fun. It’s about celebrating family, friends, and fun, just as Patti would have wanted.
Patti was strong, kind, joyful, and tough. She inspired through action, motivated with heart, and gave everything she had to those around her.
This event is a living reflection of her spirit, and a way for us to give back—together.
