Triad Has Heart is my favorite part. It is the bit that creates meaning. Triad Has Heart is a reflection of how our small band of consultants repairs the world. Each year, we ask our consultants to nominate an organization and we make a donation in their name. As the emails with the choices come in, it is like opening presents! We are genuinely excited to get a small glimpse into our consultant’s hearts and often learn about initiatives we did not even know existed. We are proud to support good people giving back. Take a look at our 32 world changers: Triad Has Heart

Triad Has Heart has selected Bridge Lacrosse for a corporate sponsorship and to explore youth scholarships. We do this in memory of Macy Jaggers who passed away suddenly last November at the age of 48. Macy’s bigger than life personality and unwavering dedication to youth lacrosse endeared her in various lacrosse communities and forums. Her hilarious Tweets are legendary on LAX Twitter where her Twitter account description includes “My heart belongs to @bridgelacrosse”. As a Bridge Lacrosse Board Member, Macy worked to bring lacrosse to underserved communities. Macy was my friend and she spoke to me often about Bridge Lacrosse events, goals and her tremendous pride in the players.

This opportunity through Triad Has Heart to recognize Macy is completely personal for me. Here is an original poem I wrote and read at her Celebration of Life in November 2020:

Telephones and texts

These were our connectors

You were always there

Dependable and funny and supportive

There were parenting consults of many kinds

Some were assurances that our kids would figure it out, eventually

Others were unabashed ramblings of bragging and pride

But always there was sincere interest and love

Our shared views of humanity got lots of attention

Commiserating on the absolute madness of Trump

Discussing all the isms such as atheism, racism and sexism

Allying together was a gift indeed

Lacrosse was a frequent topic of course

We talked of athletes and coaches and teams

And the ever-present recruiting process

But mostly we talked of your favorite player, Max

We did tap into the legal side of things on occasion

Every two years you gave me my election choices for judges

And you were my sounding board for foster care situations

You were beyond generous with your legal expertise  

We supported each other in the craziness of life

Our stories, the stories that defined us

We talked about those

We listened to each other

Last week my telephone and texts went unanswered

I miss you.
