Tyler joined the Visionaries of the Year campaign in honor of his grandfather Attilio, affectionately known as “T”, who departed from blood cancer when Tyler was a boy. T’s spirit as a builder lives on in his grandson, who with a massive heart, a gentle touch and able hands, builds projects, teams, companies and people. Tyler is honored to dedicate his Visionaries work to T.
Big things seem impossible before they actually happen.
A 29-year blood cancer survivor, Shane has dedicated that bonus time to support, advocating and raising money for families touched by cancer. His dedication includes a former longtime board membership with a pediatric cancer foundation, an oncofertility patient advocacy, gifting for an oncology prom, a stint teaching AI for Business that helped the legendary Beachwood Marketing Junior Achievement program raise over $230,000 for support dogs for critically ill children, and currently serves as a Cleveland Clinic volunteer, shaping AYA programming in this cancer space. He is honored to be Tyler's teammate in Visionaries of the Year.
The dearest of friends, partners in countless causes and Co-Founders of For Granted, Tyler's and Shane's unique and eclectic backgrounds and experiences unite to bring simplicity, creativity, love and deep connection to everyone they befriend. They are easy to do business with, do hard things well, and make big things possible.
The unique and novel ways Team Attilio will raise funds are as follows.
Through For Granted, authoring free and unsolicited grants for cancer-related non-profits whose missions we love and values we share. To raise friends more than funds.
In partnership with Spectacular Performances & Events and their forthcoming FundStuff initiative: if you give $50.00 before April 24 via Team Attilio's page at the Give button above, you get to pick one of the three 16” beautiful teddies below. We'll stuff it for you, and implant a heart that will contain the name of a person you love and specify that overcame cancer, or in whose memory the bear will sit (just send us a screenshot of your donation of $50 or more and the name of the person being honored). The Teddy threshold increases to $100.00 on April 25, 2026.
For every dollar you give, you earn one free entry into a raffle for a His & Hers Carhartt new clothing basket, valued at over $500.00. Curing cancer is hard work, and so requires the outfit of the hardest working men and women in the world.
With your help and support of Tyler and Shane on Team Attilio, Blood Cancer United can proclaim those seven words to many, for many years to come.
