Two years ago, with heavy hearts, we said goodbye to our dear Tony. We cherish the memories, adventures, and stories from his time with us and how those times have shaped us into who we are today. Prior to his passing, Tony wished he could have “just had 10 more years” and in honor of that the 10 for Tony Fund was created to carry on his legacy for 10 years.
In 2022, we made our first annual donations to Tony’s 4 loves. To see how your generous donations are already making an impact in the communities and people Tony loved most, please check out the following testimonies:
