Memorial Keepsake Package
Some of the smallest objects in the Brian Crawford Memorial archive have carried the story the farthest.
The baseball and softball necklaces, #13 cards and Memorial booklet were created so people could carry Brian's story with them, share it with their children and help support the continuing Memorial.
Baseball-themed Memorial necklace and bracelet with Brian's #13 card.
A thank-you for helping Brian's legacy continue.

The keepsakes helped people tell Brian's story.
The surviving Memorial pamphlet preserves messages from families who encountered Brian's story through the necklaces and tournament. Those messages describe children reading the insert that accompanied the necklace, asking about Brian and carrying the message with them afterward.
That history gives the keepsakes a different meaning today. They are not simply fundraising items. They are surviving objects from the period when Brian's family was learning how a small physical reminder could open a conversation about who he was.
The Memorial booklet preserves the early story.
The eight-page pamphlet is more than an insert in the keepsake package. It is a surviving historical document from the early Brian Crawford Memorial Project.
Its pages preserve Brian's story as the family was telling it at the time, the early Memorial Tournament growth, the original baseball-facility vision, a survivor's letter, family photographs, faith-centered reflections and messages from people who encountered the Memorial through tournaments and necklaces.
The baseball cards preserved Brian across different chapters of his life.
These cards place childhood baseball, Prague High School, Brian's #13 and Philippians 4:13 into a portable Memorial format. Together they show why the baseball card became a natural part of the keepsake package.
The keepsake story extends beyond the current package.
Other surviving objects document how Brian's name, #13, Philippians 4:13 and the later BCM Sports chapter were carried into physical reminders over the years. These objects are presented here as part of the historical archive; they are not represented as items included in the current $25 package.
Archive distinction: The miniature bronze statues, BCM Sports rings, pin and Memorial coin shown above document the broader physical archive. The current keepsake package is limited to the items specifically listed in the package section above.

The objects are small. The history they carry is not.
From the early pamphlet to the baseball cards and stitched necklaces, the keepsakes preserve a period when Brian's family was finding ways to turn remembrance into conversation. The current package continues that tradition while helping support the Memorial that grew from it.
