Dear Western New York Community,We are reaching out to local businesses and community members to request donations for a benefit honoring Tom Fries. Tom is a beloved husband, father, Lancaster-Depew Baseball and Regals Hockey coach, and lifelong community advocate who is currently battling end-stage kidney disease.
Tom is in urgent need of a kidney transplant, and his medical expenses have grown significantly. He is on daily dialysis until he finds his life-saving kidney match. Once he receives his transplant, he will need lifelong medication and medical care. To learn more about Tom’s story, visit https://www.kfwny.org/post/tom-fries-seeking-kidney-donor
Throughout his life, Tom has been the first to step up for others - now it is our turn to step up for him. From coaching youth sports to volunteering in countless local events, Tom has made a lasting impact in the Lancaster-Depew and Western NY communities. His family and loved ones are hosting a benefit in his honor to raise funds for his medical expenses and continued care. We are kindly asking for gift basket donations and/or other items to raffle in an auction. Thank you for your generosity and community spirit. If you are able to contribute or have questions, please contact Karen Rayer at 716-725-3628, Amanda Fries at 716-901-4478, Jennifer Chmurzynski at 716-628-0930, Joanne Middagh at 716-652-7253 or email [email protected]
