Matthew loved Halloween and haunted houses more than anyone. He loved the excitement, the scares, and the fun so much that he even had the opportunity to work at Haunted Hills for a season when he was 14 and loved it! Thank you Haunted Hills Haunted Attractions for supporting our foundation and for giving Matt and his sister such awesome memories!

This one is especially close to our hearts. ❤️

Matt Hofer and our Matthew grew up together. They spent years camping, going on ski trips, and just being kids. Those memories are even more precious to us today.

Matt Hofer has been named to the 2026 Allstate AFCA Good Works Team and is up for the 2026 Allstate Wuerffel Trophy. This recognition is about so much more than football. It honors the impact Matt is making through kindness, character, and giving back to others. The values that mean so much to our family and to this foundation.

Watching Matt grow from the little boy who shared so many adventures with our Matthew into a young man making such a difference is so special. We know Matthew would be so proud of his friend. We certainly are!
