Make a Difference in a Talented Young Person’s Life 

For 6 years Aaron worked as a Drum Instructor and Show Director at the Plainfield School of Rock. His students have described Aaron as foundational in developing their self-confidence and talent and he has been an inspiration to many who otherwise would have floundered. Music education is expensive and Aaron was dedicated to his students and co-workers, attending shows even after he stopped working there. Please donate to the Music Education Scholarship Fund so talented young people will not be hindered in their creative development by a lack of money.

Animal Welfare and Conservation

Aaron was an animal lover from the time he was born, with an especially big place in his heart for cats. He supported the Animal Welfare and Conservation efforts of Brookfield Zoo and TreeHouse Humane Society. We will continue his efforts by raising money to donate to organizations that support those missions he held dear.

Cancer Research and Treatment

The type of cancer Aaron had is called “cholangiocarcinoma”. It is very rare and aggressive; truly a devastating disease. And, although still rare, there has been a dramatic increase in this type of aggressive bile duct cancer in young people. Unfortunately, since it is so rare it is difficult for organizations such as The Cholangiocarcinoma Foundation and other Cancer Research Organizations to get funding. Please help us help these organizations help others, like Aaron, who are struggling with this and other cancers.
