MADISON, WISCONSIN, December 29, 2006-Connie and Fish from the Z-104 morning radio talk show will be interviewing the Chris Farley Foundation and the Aaron Meyer Foundation Tuesday, January 2 at 7:30am.  Tom Farley, Chris’s Brother, and Tom Meyer, Aaron’s Dad, will discuss the recent partnership between the two Foundations and the opening of Aaron’s House.
 
Aaron’s House, scheduled to open August 2007, is an alcohol and drug-free home where young men ages 17-25 will live and support one another while continuing their education. It’s a 3-year pilot project spearheaded by the Aaron Meyer Foundation in partnership with the Chris Farley Foundation and Connections Counseling, LLC.  Each is located in Madison, Wisconsin.
 
“Aaron’s plan for his post high school education included living with peers who knew the challenges of recovery.  The concept for the house is Aaron’s idea” said Tom Meyer. “Tom Farley is an amazing person and he knows the value of a healthy home and he will ensure the residents are learning ways to express themselves and to have good fun.”

The Chris Farley Foundation is dedicated to educating the next generation about the risks and dangers of alcohol and other drug abuse.  They achieve maximum effectiveness by employing comedy to reach their audience with a motto of Think. Laugh. Live.  “I am excited about what both foundations can accomplish as we begin to work together,” said Tom Farley.
 
Both foundations namesakes battled with substance abuse and were Madison area natives.  To learn more about either foundation, call Stacy Ozanne (608) 358-4499 or visit www.ChrisFarleyFoundation.com and www.AaronsHouseMadison.org.
