Creative present for a boxing coach’s 60th birthday

When varsity boxing coach Walter Moore bid farewell to his seniors at his teams end of year award ceremony, it also happened to be his 60th birthday. On that eventful day, he received a meaningful 60th birthday keepsake that was far more personal than any boxing plaque his boxers or fellow coaches could ever give him. He received a keepsake CD filled with the voices of his colleagues, his graduating boxers, and their parents, expressing their thanks and warm wishes. The recordings ranged from funny to sentimental, and showed him what he had meant to his boxers.

“I go out there and urge my boxers to give it their all every day. I’ve always focused on the boxers, and when they gave me this gift it made it clear how much my philosophy meant to them personally”.

The boxers and their parents wanted to give the coach a unique present that was very personal. But, with hectic schedules, the boxers and their parents knew that the group gift would have to be simple for everyone to contribute to.

The gift the coach received is called LifeOnRecord.

Team mom, Stacy Schmidt, got the idea when her husband gave her a LifeOnRecord CD as a thoughtful birthday gift.

The process is simple: family and friends call a toll-free number and are directed to record a favorite memory, wish, or story. Theres no limit on the number of callers that can phone-in or on the total number of recordings you receive. You can download the recordings for free to your computer using iTunes so that you can make your own CD, or LifeOnRecord can create a keepsake CD with a personalized label and metal case. An unlimited plan with free download capability into iTunes costs $49.99, or an unlimited plan with a keepsake CD costs $74.98.

It is a unique, affordable service that allows you to create a highly personal gift with ease.

“These young men mean a lot to me, and this is the perfect way for me to remember them and their impact after my coaching days are over. The mom who organized and put this together is my hero”.

If you’d like to be a hero to your loved one, you can purchase LifeOnRecord and give them a thoughtful birthday present.
