As many of you know, our Lieutenant, Dan Matychak, is courageously battling Squamous Cell Carcinoma. His benefit is tomorrow, and we want to show him just how much love and support surrounds him. ❤️‍🩹

Our department, along with 2 Broke Mom’s in Pulaski, has created a special T-shirt in honor of Dan. Our department will proudly be wearing these shirts tomorrow at his benefit. 🚒❤️

The shirts are $25 each, and thanks to the incredible generosity of Jen from 2 Broke Mom’s, $7 from every shirt sold will be donated directly back to Dan.

The link below is where you can order your shirt, and there is a picture so you can see what they look like.

A HUGE thank you to Jen and 2 Broke Mom’s for helping us support one of our own. Your generosity means more than you know. ❤️
Help us help Dan.

No One Fights Alone, Brother. 💪❤️‍🩹🚒

Our Lieutenant, Dan Matychak, has been a dedicated member of our department for nearly five years. He was recently diagnosed with Stage 2 Squamous Cell Carcinoma of the tongue. Dan is currently receiving treatment in both Syracuse and Rochester. He is scheduled to begin chemotherapy on July 27, and today he meets with his surgeon to discuss the timeline for his upcoming surgery.

To help ease the financial burden of medical expenses, a Spaghetti Dinner Benefit will be held on Saturday, September 5, 2026, from 1:00 PM to 5:00 PM at the Elks Lodge, 57 Pierce Drive, Fulton, NY.

Presale tickets are available:

Dan: (315) 560-3087
Erica: (315) 743-6402

There will also be raffles, a 50/50 drawing, baked goods, a door prize, and a lottery board. Every dollar raised will go directly toward helping Dan and his family with medical expenses during this difficult time.

Please join us in coming together as a community to support one of our own as he fights this battle. If you're unable to attend, simply sharing this post would mean so much and help spread the word.

Together, we can make a difference. ❤️
