THANK YOU. THANK YOU. THANK YOU. We may have faced challenge after challenge, but we persevered. When @tristand2_ came to me @_marinad to put on a show, I thought he was nuts, and I still do. He brought on @scottyvr and @91_mnty together we planned and JDBF X was born. We invited my brothers @vagkraft and soon enough @mcawesomeballs became my right hand man. Thank you to everyone who came out, purchased some merch and had a good time! taken in Boyd Conservation Area by @jdbf2014

🍂🧡 Happy Thanksgiving from all of us at The John Di Battista Foundation! 🦃

Today, we’re especially thankful for the people who continue to support our mission, give back to our community, and help us keep John’s memory and spirit alive.

Thanksgiving reminds us that it’s not about what we have, but about what we share. A little kindness, a helping hand, and a generous heart can make a world of difference.

From our family to yours, we wish you a Thanksgiving filled with love, laughter, good food, and beautiful memories. And maybe a little extra horsepower! 🏎️🧡

Thank you for being part of John’s legacy. ❤️

Rain didn’t keep us down. 🌧️🌳 WE DID IT!

Our first Reeves Park cleanup is officially in the books! A little rain wasn’t going to stop the John Di Battista Foundation crew from getting out there, getting our hands dirty and taking care of the park we’re proud to call ours. ❤️

Huge thank you to everyone who came out, grabbed a bag, picked up some garbage and had some laughs along the way.

This is what Adopt A Park is all about. Community showing up for community.

We’ll give Reeves Park a little winter break, but we’ll be back right after winter to clean it up again! 🌳🤘

Our community. Our park. Our legacy. ❤️

Today we celebrate Ma. ❤️

Happy Birthday to the heart of our family, the woman whose love, strength, and generosity have shaped all of us.

We know there is one person you wish more than anything could be here celebrating with you today. And while John may not be sitting beside you, his love, his spirit, and everything you gave him live on in our family and in everything we do through JDBF. ❤️

So today, we celebrate you, Ma. For everything you’ve given us, everything you continue to give, and for being the heart behind so much of who we are.

Happy Birthday, Ma. We love you more than words could ever say. ❤️ taken in Vaughan, Ontario by @jdbf2014

🧤🌳 We’re rolling up our sleeves for Reeves Park!

Join the John Di Battista Foundation on Thursday, September 3 at 7:00 PM for our first Reeves Park Community Clean Up.

As proud participants in Vaughan’s Adopt a Park program, we’re committed to doing more than putting our name on a sign. We’re committed to showing up.

Before families and kids return to the park this fall, let’s work together to make it clean, safe, and welcoming for everyone.

When the work is done, stick around for a community BBQ as our way of saying thank you! 🌭💙

📍 Reeves Park
🕖 7:00 PM
🙋 Volunteer and register through the link in our bio.

Together, we can make a difference, one park at a time.

Full circle moments are my favourite.

The John Di Battista Foundation has officially adopted Reeves Park. 💚

This isn’t just any park. It’s the park where we spent countless afternoons after elementary school. We played there, laughed there, and made some of our favourite childhood memories there.

Years later, we have the privilege of giving something back.

Through the City of Vaughan’s Adopt-a-Park program, we’ll help keep Reeves Park clean, safe, and beautiful for everyone who enjoys it. It’s a small way to say thank you to a place that gave us so many memories growing up.

Seeing the Foundation’s name on a sign in a park that meant so much to us as kids is hard to put into words.

Here’s to giving back to the place that helped shape our childhood. 💚 taken in Vaughan, Ontario by @jdbf2014

We’ll be there and would love to see some familiar faces. Whether you’re looking to put together a team, volunteer your time, or make a donation, every bit of support helps make a difference.

Come by, say hello, and help us support an incredible cause.

Sunday, August 23

Northern Greens Golf Range, East Gwillimbury

If you know anyone who loves volleyball, is looking to volunteer, or simply wants to give back, please pass this along. Let’s fill the courts, build an amazing volunteer team, and raise as much as we can together.

See you on the sand! 🏐💜🐾 taken in Northern Greens Golf Course and Family Fun Centre by @jdbf2014

Music has a unique way of bringing people together, creating connections, and strengthening communities.

The John Di Battista Foundation is proud to support the Vaughan International Music Festival and its mission of celebrating music, culture, and community.

In John’s memory, we remain committed to supporting initiatives that inspire hope, create opportunities, and bring people together. We’re honoured to play a small part in an event that does exactly that.

Wishing all of the artists, volunteers, sponsors, vendors, and festival goers an incredible weekend. See you at VIMF! 🤘🏼 taken in Assembly Park by @jdbf2014

Today, we celebrate the heart of our family.

Happy Birthday, Dad. ❤️

You taught us that kindness costs nothing, family is everything, and that showing up for others is one of life’s greatest gifts. Those lessons didn’t just shape our family, they became the foundation of the John Di Battista Foundation.

Because of you, we learned to give without expecting anything in return, to love fiercely, and to always leave people a little better than we found them.

We know John would be the first one making you laugh today, celebrating you exactly the way you deserve. While we miss him every day, we see pieces of him in you, in your strength, your smile, and the love you continue to give so freely.

Thank you for being our rock, our greatest example, and the man we are all so proud to call Dad.

From all of us at the John Di Battista Foundation, we wish you a birthday filled with the same love you’ve spent a lifetime giving to everyone around you.

Happy Birthday, Dad. We love you beyond words. ❤️ by @jdbf2014
