Each of us can truly make a difference.

BENEFIT SPONSOR JOSEPH C. KIMMER Benefit Sponsor Affiliated with Trevor since: 2009 Spotlight Location: Geneva, IL

It’s been a year since the loss of my son Michael, who died by suicide. Although he is missed dearly, I’ve been set in motion on a course to save young lives by Michael. I know he’s looking down upon me and is proud of the fact that not only am I trying to keep someone from making the same mistake Michael did, but I’m doing it in his honor. If Michael would have known that Trevor was available, I’m certain he would still be alive, vibrant, charismatic, happy and enjoying life with us today. I knew my son was gay when he was a very young boy and the day he came out at the age of 14, I was not only proud of him, I was relieved of the fact that we could move on together and walk side by side. My greatest contribution was the fundraiser I held on January 6, 2010 (Michael passed away 11/6/2009) at Buffalo Wild Wings in Geneva, Illinois. The event was a huge success and brought in a total of $4,500 through donations, t-shirt and wristband sales. My favorite part of all our fundraising events is the opportunity to meet so many kind, loving and giving people who support The Trevor Project and are accepting of all people, regardless of sexual orientation or . Many of our guests knew my son Michael, but even for those who did not, the purpose of coming together was for the same cause of saving young lives. Joe’s events have raised a collective total of $7,000 for The Trevor Project.
