Support Tyson’s Recovery from a Double Lung Transplant.

Raise a glass (and some money) for one of the good ones.
This is Tyson – husband, Veteran and entrepreneur who has been a kind, caring and giving boss to his employees at the distillery he founded, Skaalvenn.
Together, Tyson and his wife, Mary, have crafted a local, small business built on doing right by others. They believe in equality, and they believe in empathy. They make sure their employees are taken care of with full health benefits–a rarity in the service and spirits industry. But now it’s Tyson’s health that has taken a turn. Due to a case of idiopathic pulmonary fibrosis, Tyson received a rare and amazing double lung transplant! While he was blessed to have a successful surgery, the road ahead is uphill and substantial.
Please give your support and donations to a man who has not only served his country but dedicated his life to raising the spirits of others.
Thank you on behalf of Tyson’s family, friends, employees and supporters.
Always ones to give, Tyson and Mary have been longtime advocates for healthcare coverage in the service and hospitality industry–especially for their own employees. Any funds from this GoFundMe not used to help cover Tyson’s medical costs will be equally distributed amongst Skaalvenn employees who have gone above and beyond in Tyson’s absence as he recovers.
