Lincoln-Way West Scholarship Night

We were proud to attend Scholarship Night at Lincoln-Way West High School, where the TK9 Foundation awarded scholarships to five exceptional student-athletes in honor of Tyler’s legacy.
It was a meaningful evening filled with pride, community, and celebration. These students reflect the heart, drive, and leadership that defined Tyler, and we’re honored to play a small role in helping them pursue their goals.
Thank you to everyone who continues to support the TK9 mission. Because of your generosity, moments like this are possible — and we’re making a difference, one student at a time.

TK9 Foundation Impromptu Golf Outing

On September 21st (2024), over 50 friends, family, and supporters
gathered at Woodruff Golf Course in New Lenox for an impromptu golf outing to
honor the life and legacy of Tyler Koscinski. This gathering became a
meaningful day of connection, remembrance, and celebration, bringing people
together to support the TK9 Foundation’s mission and reflect on the impact
Tyler made in the lives of so many.

The day was filled with laughter, friendly competition, and heartfelt
stories shared by those who knew Tyler best. From tee-off to the final putt,
each swing was a reminder of the passion Tyler had for sports, teamwork, and
bringing people together. The outing brought a community together not only to
celebrate Tyler’s life but also to support the foundation’s goals of helping
young athletes pursue their dreams and foster a love for the game.

Thank you to everyone who joined us on the greens for this special day
and to Woodruff Golf Course for providing the perfect backdrop for this
meaningful event. The support shown at this outing reaffirms the strength of
our community and inspires us to carry forward Tyler’s legacy with pride and
purpose.

Stay tuned for future events and ways to support the TK9 Foundation as we
continue to grow Tyler’s legacy and give back to the community in his name.

1st Annual TylerKoscinski Memorial Foundation Benefit

On October 26th (2024), we gathered in New Lenox at the White Horse for
our inaugural fundraiser to celebrate the life and legacy of Tyler Koscinski.
The turnout was extraordinary, with nearly 250 attendees showing up to honor
Tyler and support young athletes in need. Through the generosity of everyone
who attended, donated, and participated in the evening’s activities, we raised
significant funds that will help us make a lasting impact in the community
through scholarships and essential support for aspiring athletes.

The event was filled with meaningful moments, camaraderie, and excitement.
Highlights included a lively silent auction, raffle prizes, and heartfelt words
from Tyler’s family, who expressed their gratitude to all who joined us and
supported our mission. A special thanks to the White Horse for graciously
hosting and to everyone who contributed, both friends and new supporters alike.

We are thrilled to announce that the Tyler Koscinski Memorial Foundation has
officially been approved as a nonprofit organization in Illinois and has
secured an EIN. All contributions, including those from the GoFundMe campaign
and this event, have been carefully set aside for the Foundation's charitable
initiatives. While we await final approval of our 501(c)(3) status, we’re
excited to continue building this Foundation in Tyler’s honor and will keep
everyone updated on our progress.

Thank you once again for making this event such a success. Together, we’re
ensuring that Tyler’s spirit lives on through positive action and support for
young athletes. Stay tuned for more updates on upcoming events and ways to get
involved!
