The Johnny and Mikey Katsimatides Foundation for Life
The Johnny and Mikey Katsimatides Foundation for Life, Inc. was named for and inspired by the tragic loss of two brothers: Mike Katsimatides who committed suicide in May of 1999 and John Katsimatides who died in the terrorist attacks of September 11, 2001. The Foundation seeks to promote a diverse set of charitable endeavors, including music education, cancer research, aid for underprivileged youth, suicide prevention and the rights of crime victims by donating funds raised through a variety of community events to charities that embody the spirit, character and lives of John and Mike. The Foundation believes its donations will enable these charitable organizations to promote the well-being of the community while perpetuating John and Mike's legacy and honoring the lives of these two special individuals.
