He actively supports school and community fundraisers by selling tickets, hosting bottle drives, and donating gift cards, food, and meat to organizations such as The Refuge and numerous school programs. Ryan maintains a shelf stocked with free, nonperishable food items available to anyone in need--no questions asked. He sponsors youth and adult baseball teams, matches donations to Project Graduation up to $1,000, prepares and donates meals for marching band students, and supports local farmers by offering space to sell their produce at no cost. In addition, he regularly volunteers at school events across Lapeer County.
