Home Run Derby Final Results

…And The Winner Is

Your 2026 ACTEC Foundation Home Run Derby ended yesterday with Mickey “The Mick” Davis of Houston, Texas taking home the title by raising an incredible total of $15,316 for The Foundation.  Congratulations, Mickey!  

As the innings progressed, The Mick delivered a powerhouse performance, holding the top spot on the Scoreboard for most of the Derby’s final rounds. But it was a nail biter!! After starting out at the bottom of the order in Round 1, The Mick rallied in dramatic fashion, taking Rounds 2, 3, and 4 to complete a comeback worthy of the highlight reel. And when the pressure was highest, he delivered his biggest swing: In Round 4, as the Derby reached full intensity, he crushed it, raising a staggering $5,930, sending his final drive deep into the stands and sealing the victory. 

Bobby “Sluggerrr” Kirkland powered his way to second place, bringing in an outstanding $9,515 for The Foundation. 

Close behind, Stacy “The Fiduciary Fireball” Rubel claimed third place, raising $8,720 and keeping the pressure on until the final out.  

Thank you to all of our Derby sluggers!

Thank YOU, Fellows!

From early-inning rallies to late-game heroics, this year’s Derby had it all. The Home Run Derby ended at 11:59 PM  on May 14, and thanks to the support of Fellows, it was a season-setting performance for The Foundation. 

ACTEC Foundation President Lora G. Davis expresses her appreciation: “Wow—what an incredible finish! Thank you to all of the Fellows who stepped up and contributed to our spring fundraising competition. I’m thrilled to report that we surpassed our fundraising goal, raising over $50,000. Your support fuels the programs that make The ACTEC Foundation such an important force in our profession—including the Mary Moers Wenig Student Writing Competition, the Dennis I. Belcher Young Leaders Program, the ACTEC Estate Planning Essentials videos, and the ACTEC Trust and Estate Talk podcasts.  On behalf of The Foundation’s Officers and Directors, I can’t thank you enough for helping make this year’s spring fundraiser a true home run. I look forward to seeing all of those Blue Donor Ribbons in Boston!”
