My name is Quinn Eyrich and I am a student at Southern Connecticut State University and I am trying to raise money to pay for my best friend’s initiation fee. I am a member of our university's fraternity Tau Kappa Epsilon as well as president of the Best Buddies chapter.

As a Best Buddies member I met Matty, a man with down syndrome that I’d shortly call my best friend. Matty is a student of Chapel Haven, the place where we hold our weekly Best Buddies meeting. Matty is an incredible person with an outstanding passion for seeing a more inclusive community.

Through many conversations with Matty I began to realize that he was the brother we always needed. As a fraternity we hold our guiding principles which are love,charity and esteem close to our hearts, as those are what we swear by. It was through those countless conversations with Matty that I learned that he represented all our principles perfectly. Please donate so we can reach the goal so we can pay for the initiation fee!
