Matt and I lost our son Yorick in 2023 when he was just 9 years old. Yorick was a friend to all animals and cared deeply about them.

We're excited honor Yorick's memory by participating in 2026 Paws in the Park, a fundraiser supporting Longmont Humane Society.

Our team name "Straw Hats" comes from the name of the pirate crew in the anime "One Piece," which Yorick enjoyed watching.

Every donation—big or small—helps us reach our fundraising goal and directly impacts this important cause while also honoring Yorick.

Here's how you can help:

• Donate: Contribute whatever you can. Every dollar counts!
• Spread the Word: Share our fundraising page with your friends, family, and social networks. Let’s spread awareness so we can raise more!

Thank you so much for your support! We appreciate you!
