The Foundation is dedicated to honoring the memory of Matthew Friedman by supporting brain research, local high school scholarships and supporting local volunteer Emergency Medical Services.  Matthew, a Pre-Med student at Cornell University studying Biology with a concentration in Neurobiology and Behavior, planned to become a surgeon before a ruptured brain aneurysm took him from us. Matthew was an extraordinary student and had a passion for helping his community, serving as an EMT on his local first aid squad. We strive to make a positive impact on our community and beyond.  Through our efforts, we aim to keep Matthew’s spirit alive, help others the way Matthew would have, and most of all, make him proud. His departure left a void in the lives of all who knew him, but his memory continues to uplift those who were touched by his presence.

Through the Foundation’s endeavors, Matthew’s spirit lives on, guiding and inspiring others to make a positive impact on the world. Though he may no longer walk among us, his memory serves as a beacon of hope and a reminder of the extraordinary potential that resides within each of us. Matthew Friedman may have left this world too soon, but his legacy of love, brilliance, and service will endure for generations to come.
