My Nonprofit Reviews

The Matty Fund (Matthew Siravo Memorial Foundation) is a non-profit that focuses on epilepsy and provides support to the families affected by it. Not only do they cover the basics (fundraising, awareness, legislation) but they take it a step further bringing awareness to children and teachers in schools, assisting nurses and physicians in various settings with the latest updates on research through lectureship programs. They bring children with epilepsy together for fun family events (pumpkin festival, etc.) that enables children and their family members to interact with others who may also be faced with the same issues and challenges. This past weekend's Snow Angel Ball was a well run event that helped to highlight what The Matty Fund does and to share real stories about the families who are a part of The Matty Fund family. The food was good, the music (Sugar) was great, and everyone who attended learned a little bit more about The Matty Fund staff, their efforts, and enjoyed meeting some of the young recipients of the Foundation's support.
