Brady Nickerson Foundation

Home > Brady Nickerson Foundation

The Brady Nickerson Foundation was established to honor the life of Brady Nickerson. Brady was Sluggers Travel Baseball Players who passed away from pediatric Osteosarcoma (bone cancer) on May 26, 2019, after a month-long battle.  Brady started playing at Sluggers as soon as we opened in February 2013 and played until his tragic passing in May 2019.   The Foundation raises money to donated to several causes that were important to Brady. Every year after travel baseball & softball tryouts the Brady Nickerson Foundation awards over $15,000 in scholarships to players to play at Sluggers Travel Teams.  Scholarship applicants apply by writing an essay entitled “What Baseball / Softball Means to Me”.   If you’re an aspiring Sluggers Travel Player and would like to learn more about Sluggers Brady Nickerson Scholarships, please contact Sluggers Owner Brandon Portwine.

Praise From Our Players

Have been taking my son here for private lessons for quite a while. Excellent facility, awesome staff and superior training from the coaches. I wanted my son to get the best pitching instruction he can possibly get, and Matt Kinney is it. Thank you Sluggers for doing this for these kids that are the future of this sport.

My son took hitting/pitching lessons with Coach Harvey this Spring and I can't tell you how impressed I was with how he set the lessons up and how quickly my son improved due to his guidance. The owner is very responsive and I appreciated the automated reminders we received leading up to his lesson dates.

Sluggers is a top-notch teaching and learning facility. My son loves it there and has grown so much as a player. He has benefited from the clinics, camps, private lessons, and his travel team. Great instruction, fair prices, and an excellent year-round facility. If your child loves baseball or softball, do yourself a favor and visit Sluggers!

My daughter loves Sluggers. Coach Wheeler does a tremendous job in their clinics. I highly recommend doing Sluggers Softball clinics if your a beginner as it’s a great value.
