Austin Ellerbusch

In 2019, at the 10th annual charity night, Ryan’s Hope benefited Austin Ellerbusch, an incredible young man battling melanoma. He fought bravely, but sadly lost his battle in August 2019. Austin was heavily involved in the Phoenix community and brought together people from all walks of life. Whether it was through music, food, or art, he genuinely impacted the lives of everyone he met. His legacy is one of compassion and unconditional kindness. A month before Austin passed away, Haley and Austin found out they were going to be parents, what they described as a true miracle. They discovered that they were expecting a baby girl, born on Austin's birthday. The event's proceeds supported the needs of the baby and Haley during this challenging time.
