College Hype Raises Over $6,000 for Matt Brown Foundation at Falmouth Road Race

When Evan Doherty laced up his running shoes for the Falmouth Road Race on August 17th, he carried more than personal goals across the starting line. The College Hype team member, and junior at Bryant University, transformed his athletic pursuit into a fundraising mission, ultimately raising over $6,000 for the Matt Brown Foundation—an organization dedicated to supporting individuals and families navigating the challenges of paralysis.

At College Hype, meaningful connection to the communities we serve forms a cornerstone of our company values. Evan's fundraising effort perfectly embodies this commitment, extending our impact far beyond branded merchandise into direct community support. His initiative reflects the collaborative spirit and genuine care for others that defines our team culture.

Founded in 2020, the Matt Brown Foundation addresses a critical need in our communities. With 18,000 spinal cord injuries occurring annually in the United States, the foundation's mission to make each day easier for those facing paralysis resonates deeply. Through community support, the organization has already surpassed $300,000 in grants, funding accessible vehicles, home modifications, and essential equipment.

The foundation's work directly impacts families during some of their most challenging moments, providing practical solutions that restore independence and dignity. Every dollar Evan raised contributes to this vital support network.

The Falmouth Road Race, one of New England's premier running events, provided the perfect platform for Evan's charitable mission. The 7-mile course from Woods Hole to Falmouth Heights attracts thousands of runners annually, creating an ideal environment for raising awareness and funds.
