Formal Notice of Objection

Unauthorized Use of Name and Likeness

To
The Operator of The Forever Ethan Project
Re
Use of Ethan's name, photographs, and identity

To the Operator of The Forever Ethan Project:

I am Ethan's sole heir. Ethan passed away on May 8, 2026, at the age of 22.

I am writing to formally object to the use of Ethan's name, photographs, and identity in connection with the organization identifying itself as "The Forever Ethan Project."

I have not authorized or endorsed the establishment of this organization in Ethan's name, nor have I authorized anyone to represent that this project operates with my approval or on behalf of Ethan's family or estate.

Your Facebook page describes the project as a nonprofit organization in partnership with PBF–Ride for Kids. I request written clarification of the organization's legal status, the nature of that partnership, and whether any fundraising is planned or currently being conducted.

I further request that you discontinue using Ethan's name and likeness as the identity of this organization, remove his photographs from its promotional materials, and refrain from suggesting that the project has the endorsement or authorization of his family.

Please respond in writing within 10 calendar days confirming how you intend to address these concerns.

I reserve all rights and remedies available under Pennsylvania law, including those relating to unauthorized commercial or fundraising use of Ethan's name and likeness.

Sincerely,

Sole Heir
