When Patrick Turner died by suicide in January of 2018, he challenged his family, friends, and community to make our world a kinder and more inclusive place. We can't do anything to bring Patrick back, but we can work every day to make the changes that he wished for.

​

Since our inception, Patrick's Purpose Foundation commits to awarding scholarships to high school seniors attending a community college or trade school, donating books to elementary schools on social emotional learning, placing buddy benches at schools, and fostering open conversations within the community about mental health and wellness.
