About Us
Our mission is to help our younger generation redefine organ and tissue donation advocacy. We believe that by sharing real, factual information with teens and young adults they will make an educated and informed decision about organ and tissue donation.
Whether we bring that information to them in classrooms, through campus clubs and events, as guest speakers, through social media, podcasts, docuseries, or at sporting events, youth clubs, and community events, the Maddog Strong Foundation is committed to building awareness within the youth community of the need for life-saving organ and tissue donation.
The Maddog Strong Foundation is a 501(c)3 nonprofit organization.

The Mission of The Maddog Strong Foundation is threefold: Education-Registration-Conversation! Our goal is to save lives by educating teens and young adults about the importance of organ and tissue donation-creating the next generation of advocates for this important cause. The Maddog Strong Foundation, a 501(c)(3) nonprofit, was founded in the spirit of Maddie "Maddog" Grobmeier, a 2019 Lincoln-Way East graduate, who unexpectedly passed away from an acute asthma attack just one day after her 18th birthday. Maddie continues to inspire others through her courageous and compassionate decision to donate her organs and tissues so that others could live on to do amazing things for the world.
