Christopher Shatagin was an avid baseball player who enjoyed coaching and encouraging kids to excel in the sport he loved. He died as a young man in 2002 of complications from prenatal hepatitis C. The Christopher Shatagin Sports Foundation was created to carry on Christopher's legacy of improving the lives of young people through sports. Since 2002, the foundation has funded deserving programs in Vermont and San Juan del Sur, and it serves to honor the memory of Christopher by the friends and family who loved him.

Fundación A. Jean Brugger believes every child deserves the right to learn and to play baseball, and so does the Christopher Shatagin Sports Foundation. These two foundations team up every year to present baseball camps to youngsters in San Juan del Sur because we believe that in the process, everyone gains an understanding of good sportsmanship and team spirit.
