Matthew Lyskawa is a local 23 year old who suffered a traumatic brain injury as a result of a boating accident in Florida in January. He and his family need all the support our City of Good Neighbors can give right now!!! He is a fighter and his recovery is going to be long and difficult. We are fundraising for him and his family in an attempt to lessen their financial burden during this process so that they can all focus on Matt getting better. We are in the process of planning multiple fundraising events and would be grateful for any shares/donations/volunteers to assist, so if you are interested PLEASE reach out! 

We will be posting shortly about a March Madness for Matthew - because who doesn’t love a March Madness bracket that supports such a meaningful cause?! 

There will also be an upcoming meat raffle, golf tournament, Halloween party and adult prom to raise funds! More information on each of these will be coming soon. 

We are trying to share this to as many people as possible so please- repost, tell everyone you know, and let’s show up for this family the way they show up for everyone around them!

We are looking for donations for the meat raffle, auction items (baskets/gift cards/etc) and any/everyone is invited to join in these events. If allowed I will post updates on the events for those interested once plans are finalized.
