Westerville Crew:
In 1995 Matt Chase left the medical professionto become community-involved. Desiring to create
a program to offer high school kids the
opportunity to experience, learn, succeed, grow,
and lead, Matt started Westerville Crew.
With no money Matt raffled off his limited
production Mustang automobile and purchased used
boats and equipment. Since then, Matt and his wife
Trish have spent every day (yes, every day)
sharing their talents, knowledge, and time with
kids helping them succeed. They have fostered a
family of hundreds of kids, each a productive
community-minded citizen; thanks to their
efforts, will continue for years to come.
