MISSION STATEMENT
THE T22 McDUFFIE FOUNDATION
Based in Orange County, California— the T22 McDuffie Foundation empowers young individuals facing loss and grief to heal, grow, and thrive. We seek to provide unwavering support and vital resources to strengthen mental well-being and build resilience for life.
Founded in honor of Trent’s older brother, Tyler, who lost his battle with a respiratory condition leading to heart failure in 2015, the foundation continues Tyler’s legacy of inspiring youth in need of mental health support—guided by Trent’s powerful mantra, ‘Power 2 Overcome’.
