“The Trippley Foundation”
The Trippley Foundation is a nonprofit organization whose mission focuses on helping children learn how to face challenges, address grief, and unlock potential through experiential growth opportunities.
Walking home on Easter Day 2004, Will Trippley, a full scholarship athlete, devout son, and remarkable friend was caught amid a violent drug deal in his hometown in PA.
He lost his life to gun violence.
Full of grief yet determined, his mother Patricia, with the help of Will’s friends launched the Trippley Foundation.
The Trippley Foundation provides free grief counseling for youth and adults, and free athletic programs for youth in Chester and the surrounding areas. Click HERE for their website.
