MISSION STATEMENT

THE T22 McDUFFIE FOUNDATION

The T22 McDuffie Foundation empowers youth navigating grief and loss to build connection, find strength, and discover the power to overcome—through creativity, movement, and a community built for healing.

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’.
