Hello Friends!
Please accept our sincerest gratitude to all who supported the recent KSLF Euchre Tournament. Your presence, participation, and generosity made it an outstanding success, reaffirming our shared commitment to honoring Kyle’s memory and supporting the vital work of the KSLF.
Your willingness to come together for a common cause, whether as players or non-players, is a testament to the impact Kyle had on all of us and the enduring legacy he has left behind. The funds raised during the tournament will enable us to continue our important work in supporting causes so important to Kyle - youth sports, animals and living with cancer.
We want to extend a special shout-out to our defending champions - Tony Borgerding and Craig Osterhues, who gave it their all and came in a close second this year. You kept us on the edge of our seats until the very end. Well done!
Now, to announce this year’s new champions…... Stephen Hackman and Alex Lawrence. Congratulations on your impressive victory! Thank you for adding to the excitement of the tournament and for being such gracious winners.
And finally, we want to extend a special word of thanks to our co-chairs - Ted & Kim Beach and Tommy & Ann Sullivan, all of our sponsors, volunteers and organizers whose dedication and hard work were instrumental in making the tournament such a success.
Once again, thank you for supporting the Kyle Swanson Legacy Fund. Together we are continuing Kyle’s legacy of kindness and generosity, making the world a better place, one step at a time.
We look forward to seeing you this Summer for our annual Jimmy Buffet themed “A Night on Island Time” in August. More to come on this.
With heartfelt gratitude,
Paul, Rose & Nancy (Nana - Kyle’s Aunt)

INAUGURAL FUNDRAISER 2022
2022 INAUGURAL FUNDRAISER
On July 21, 2022, we held our first fundraiser to support The Kyle Swanson Legacy Fund. It was a Jimmy Buffet themed gathering – Kyle’s favorite musician – complete with a live stream of the Jimmy Buffet concert being performed at the Riverbend Music Center in Cincinnati. With the support of so many, we were able to organize this event in three short months.
Simultaneously, in Chicago, “Woodies” – known as a “Bengals Bar” and Kyle’s favorite sports bar, a fundraiser was being held to also raise money for The Kyle Swanson Legacy Fund.
Through ticket sales, sponsorships, raffle and silent auction we netted over $70,000 for The Kyle Swanson Legacy Fund. These proceeds will go a long way towards enabling and continuing the Fund’s efforts in honoring Kyle’s legacy.
Looking ahead, our goal is to continue to strengthen our relationships with our current partners as well as identify and build new relationships while planning future events for fundraising and awareness.
THANK YOU – a special thanks go out to our sponsors volunteers and all those that made this evening possible. We are forever grateful.
