In the Stands

Keeping more parents and grandparents in the stands

Heart disease and diabetes often develop quietly for years before anyone feels a thing, and the standard yearly checkup doesn't always catch them early. The right tests exist and are easy to ask for. You just have to know what to ask.

Our mission

Why the fund exists

The Rob MacMillan Memorial Fund, Inc was established in 2024 to honor Rob's legacy by expanding opportunities for young athletes in our local baseball and softball communities. Rob believed deeply in mentorship, teamwork, and ensuring every child who wanted to play had the chance to do so, regardless of financial circumstances. Funds raised will be used to reflect Rob's passion and dedication in providing opportunities for young people to participate in the sport he loved.

Who it honors

Rob "Iggy" MacMillan

1960 to 2024. Roseland, West Essex, Ramapo, and Rutherford. For more than a decade he ran the fundraising for Rutherford Babe Ruth, work that paid for the batting cages at Memorial Field and for the league fees of kids whose families could not cover them.

How to help

The golf outing is the fund's main event of the year, and sponsorships are what turn it into scholarships. If you would rather give directly, or you have a question, write to us.
