The Tyler Koscinski Memorial Foundation

The Tyler Koscinski Memorial Foundation is an all-volunteer 501(c)(3) nonprofit honoring the memory of Tyler Koscinski, a beloved son, brother, friend, and athlete who died at age 20. Tyler attended Lincoln-Way West High School and was known for his kindness, humor, leadership, and commitment to baseball and his teammates. The foundation carries his legacy forward by helping Lincoln-Way student-athletes pursue their goals and continue their education.

Each spring, the organization awards scholarships to graduating senior athletes. Its support helps young people with educational opportunities and athletic equipment, encouraging them to develop both as athletes and as individuals. The foundation also brings the community together through events such as golf outings, bingo nights, and trivia nights. Individuals can contribute through donations, which fund scholarships and support for young athletes, or get involved by volunteering. Donations are tax-deductible. Guided by Tyler’s spirit of generosity and encouragement, the foundation aims to help the next generation pursue their dreams while keeping his memory alive.
