OUR STORY

The Greg Spring Foundation, Inc. was established with a heartfelt vision to make a tangible difference in the lives of those who serve, protect, and inspire us. Named in honor of Greg Spring, a young man whose life was tragically cut short by suicide, the foundation seeks to transform this profound loss into a beacon of perseverance and hope.

Greg Spring's life and untimely passing highlighted the urgent need for more robust support systems for youth and communities. His story is a poignant reminder of the challenges many young people face and the importance of providing resources and support to those in need. In his memory, the foundation aims to prevent similar tragedies by fostering environments where individuals can thrive.

The foundation’s work began by identifying organizations that shared Greg's values and goals. We partnered with local groups focused on providing essential services and resources to underserved populations. By offering financial assistance, we enable these organizations to expand their reach and impact, ensuring more people receive the help they need.

One of our core focuses is supporting youth sports programs. Greg understood the importance of sports in teaching valuable life skills such as teamwork, discipline, and perseverance. Through our funding, we aim to give young athletes the opportunity to participate in sports, regardless of their financial circumstances, helping them develop into well-rounded individuals.

In addition, we are committed to promoting anti-bullying and suicide prevention initiatives. These issues are close to our hearts, as we recognize the profound impact they have on individuals and communities. By supporting educational programs, awareness campaigns, and support services, we strive to create a safer, more supportive environment for everyone.

The Greg Spring Foundation, Inc. is more than just a charitable organization; it is a testament to the power of community and resilience.
