You would never know from meeting Ryan that he is battling cancer. An athletic 21 year old from Marshall, North Carolina and once state leader in hits during his high school baseball career, this vibrant young man touches your heart from the first time you meet him. Ryan had always wished for an opportunity to go to a Phillies game. He just never knew that cancer would eventually bring him to Philadelphia where he would realize this wish. Front Row Foundation along with Kristin and Michael Schriks, both who work at the Cancer Treatment Center of Philadelphia, stepped in to make this dream come true for this exceptional young patient. It was definitely a night to remember for his parents, girlfriend and for Ryan!
On April 25, 2009, 28 year old Mike Boyd got a chance to sit up on the Green Monster at Fenway Park to watch the Boston Red Sox take on the New York Yankees in the front row! Mike was with some of his great childhood friends; Jamie, Brendan, Dave Adam and Chris all of whom grew up together in Reading, MA.
Event Coordinators of Mike, Katherine Otway and Chris Cuffe put together a special day of events and treats for their friend Mike! The day began in Reading when a stretch Hummer limousine picked up the crew of 6 and drove them into Boston for lunch at one of the finest steak houses in the city, Abe and Louie’s Restaurant. When Joe the limo driver, dropped Mike and his friends off on Boylston St. it was the nicest day of the year at 80 degrees and without a cloud in the sky!
On Wednesday, April 8,
cancer-fighter Ethan was treated to an incredible experience. Thanks to the generosity of the
charity group "Front Row Foundation,” we were able to enjoy a Phillies
game from behind home plate in the third row!! After our chauffeured limousine
ride to Citizens Bank Park
we watched the pre-game World Series Ring Ceremony and cheered the Phillies on
as they pulled out one of the most exciting wins in years! Yes, its true if you
think you saw us on TV you really did. Our seats were in an area that was visible
at certain points during the Ring Ceremony and a couple times during the game.
Andrew Cherpak is a young man in his twenties battling a life-threatening illness. This illness has left him legally blind, unable to walk and in constant pain. He loves baseball, especially the New York Yankees. 
Heather is an amazing woman. Diagnosed with cancer in August of 2006,
she and her family have successfully been fighting this horrible
disease. After her husband Fred let us know how much she loved the
Eagles, the Front Row staff went into high gear to create a day with
her two amazing boys Nick and Chris, sister Marlies and loving husband
Fred. After securing the best seats available in Lincoln Financial
Field, it was good luck to say that least that the day would turn out
to be the highest scoring Eagles game in franchise history.
