In just the first week, your generosity during the MMJF Online October Fundraiser has already made a difference. Together, we have raised over $1,800 from more than 30 donations so far this month, an average of $60 per pledge.

In other words, the support the Matthew Mangine Jr. Foundation has received in seven days means we can provide two more AEDs to treat victims of sudden cardiac arrest; or 12 heat index checkers to monitor dangerous practice conditions; or nine cold water tubs to treat heat-related illness.

The foundation is also contributing an additional $7,700 in grants for schools to acquire AEDs and other safety equipment.

Let’s keep it going! This month, there is no better way to celebrate Matthew’s 18th birthday than to give $18 or more during the fundraiser.

And we encourage you to tell your friends and family that they too can help save the lives of youth athletes: you can forward this email to everyone in your address book and share the link below on social media.
