Matthew Shepard Tennis Jam 2023

Never Forget! This year marks 25 years since Matthew Shepard, a 21-year-old student at the University of Wyoming, who on October 7th 1998 was brutally attacked and tied to a fence in a field outside of Laramie, Wyo. and left to die. On October 12, 1998 Matt succumbed to his wounds in a hospital in Fort Collins, Colorado. 

Erasing Hate Since 1998! The Matthew Shepard Foundation is a not-for-profit organization, founded by Matt's parents Judy and Dennis, that promotes tolerance and acceptance of all people regardless of sexual orientation, color, religion and culture. The organization's primary mission is to visit schools and community/religious organizations throughout the country to dispel fear, educate and encourage people to embrace and celebrate diversity. The Foundation has successfully lobbied for the extension of the federal hate crime laws to include punishment for crimes committed and motivated by LGBTQ+ fear and hatred.
