THE BUTTERFLY EFFECT OF MADDOX J. LOPRIORE FOUNDATION
Maddox was an exceptional boy who touched the hearts of many people during his lifetime. Tragically, he passed away on October 17, 2018 at the age of eight years old. The Butterfly Effect of Maddox J. LoPriore Foundation acts in his memory to provide programs that serve the local community through the inspiration of Maddox’s life. His legacy is one of love for family, friends, school, sports, and neighbors. The question of “What Would Maddox Do?” (WWMD) was foundational in establishing our values and is the driving force of our actions. Since 2019, the Butterfly Effect of Maddox J. LoPriore Foundation has proudly provided nearly $137,000 in assistance to beneficiaries in the communities of Antioch, Lake Villa, Lindenhurst, and Round Lake, Illinois. It is our goal to ensure that countless more children and families benefit from these programs, are inspired by Maddox’s life, and continue his legacy of making the world a better place. Our hope is that the growth, success, positive actions, and influence we provide inspires youth to generate a compounding effect on society; this is the Butterfly Effect of Maddox J. LoPriore.

WOW, what a fantastic day for the 5th Annual Maddox Golf Outing!! I know it has been several days but today is the 1st day that I have been able to mentally focus and not be exhausted. It started out questionable due to the rain but before we started, it stopped, and the sun came out. We are very thankful for that. I am not sure where to start but I will tell you over the next week or so, I will have the link ready for the pictures and other posts.
For this post, Kathleen and I want to THANK all our volunteers and everyone who helped. Whether it is during the event or the 6 months prior where I was emailing, texting, and calling you to make sure we are moving forward, and the plan is set. We want to thank all our sponsors; you are all wonderful people, and the support is incredible. We want to thank the golfers. Without you we don’t have an event. We want to thank Antioch Pizza Shop www.facebook.com/search/top?q=antioch%20pizza%20shop for once again donating the after-event pizza. They are a wonderful company that supports our community 2nd to none. Great job, you represented Maddox 1stclass. Couldn’t do it without you all.
To our board and committee members Kathleen Frieders LoPriore Becca Feldman Tiffany Day Tony Lieberum Katie Perry Lieberum Steve Feldman. It was so nice to see Kathleen enjoy the day without doing anything but talking with people and having a good time. Taking pressure off her, to allow her to enjoy the day, THANK YOU! If I miss anyone, I apologize. Thank you to our golf committee and board, 1st class effort and delivery.
There is so much to do for an outing and the way we want to have it and I want it to be perfect. Not that the others don’t, I just take it to an extreme level. I care about how the golfers are and if they are enjoying themselves. Trust me when I say, I make a lot of people nervous and sometimes mad at me for how I want things to be, down to the color of the signs and the way things are set up. It is partly who I am, but it is mostly because I am representing Maddox and there is no way I want to let him down.
Maddox will be gone physically, 5 years in October. It still feels like yesterday. He would be 13 right now but he will always be 8 in my pictures, conversations, and memories. The pain never stops, we just must fill it with other things that keep him alive, like this Foundation.
Like I said, more to come!!
THANK YOU TO EVERYONE FOR YOUR CONTINUED LOVE AND SUPPORT.
