The Michalczyk family recently visited the new Dunmore Rehab Center to  receive a donation from the Allied Services Integrated Health System. Representatives from Allied Services presented the family with a donation to the Ryan Mason Michalczyk Memorial Fund.

The fund was established in 2009 in memory of one-year-old Ryan Mason Michalczyk who passed away unexpectedly in his sleep.

To date, the fund has renovated and paid for upkeep of St. Anthony’s Memorial Playground, provided a substantial donation to Sherwood Park’s creation and maintenance of a splash pad, and has donated to numerous children and families in need within the community affected by health and/or financial struggles.
