When Daniel Ives died suddenly and tragically this past September, friends and loved ones were devastated — but determined to remember Danny in the most fitting way possible.
“After Danny’s passing we decided to start a gofundme account and we just had such an outpouring of love and support from the community,” says Alyson York, the director of the newly formed Daniel Ives Foundation, which has already raised more than $48,000. The Foundation made its first major donation today, awarding $5,000 to CASA for Children of Essex County, an organization that works to provide advocacy for Essex County’s 1,200 foster children.
