🥎 Help Send Faith to Italy — Team Israel's 2026 European Softball Championship
Faith Ansaldi
Faith Ansaldi
Faith is 13 years old, a dedicated athlete, and a young woman who has turned passion into purpose — one pitch, one swing, and one game at a time.
Over the past three years, Faith has poured herself into the sport of softball with a level of heart and hustle that has not gone unnoticed. Her hard work earned her recognition as an All-Star player in the Los Angeles softball community — an honor that reflects not just her talent, but her character on and off the field.
This summer, Faith has been selected to represent Team Israel at the 2026 Softball European Massimo Romeo Youth Trophy Championship (EMRYT) in Italy — one of the most prestigious youth softball competitions in Europe. Being chosen for this elite international team is an extraordinary achievement, and one our entire family is incredibly proud of.
Team Israel brings together talented young athletes who share a connection to Israeli heritage and culture, competing on a world stage with skill, pride, and sportsmanship. Faith is honored to be among them.
A Dedication Close to Our Hearts
This journey carries a deeply personal meaning for our family. Faith will take the field in Italy in honor of her Jewish grandparents and extended family — the roots that ground her and the legacy that inspires her.
Most especially, this is dedicated to the memory of her grandfather, Stanley Rothschild — a baseball player himself, and a man who would have beamed with pride watching his granddaughter carry on that love of the game on an international stage. We have no doubt he will be with her in spirit every time she steps between those lines.
Faith plays for all of them.
Why We're Fundraising
Representing a national team comes with real costs. We are raising $4,000 to cover Faith's:
✈️ International travel to Italy
🥎 Team uniform and gear
🏋️ Training and practice expenses leading up to the tournament
Every dollar contributed brings Faith one step closer to the field in Italy — and helps support the incredible mission of Team Israel in showcasing talented young athletes with ties to Israeli heritage on an international platform.
More Than a Game
For Faith, this journey is about more than softball. It's about honoring her roots, embracing her heritage, and carrying her family's love and legacy with her onto a world stage. When she takes the field in Italy this summer, she won't just be playing for herself — she'll be playing for her family, her grandparents, and the memory of a grandfather with the belief that sports can be a gift passed down through generations.
We are so grateful for the love and generosity of our family and friends. Whether you can contribute $10 or $500, every gift matters deeply and will be felt every time Faith steps onto that field.
Thank you for believing in her. 🥎🇮🇱
