With the passing of another year, I can’t help but reflect on how proud I am of what we’ve accomplished together. It’s hard to believe that it’s only been two years since we founded The Hambrick Foundation, yet the impact we’ve made is already significant. Word has spread quickly, and today, THF has provided grants to organizations across 17 states, with plenty more on the way. As we gear up for an exciting 2025, the future of The Hambrick Foundation looks brighter than ever.

In the past year, we continued to provide grants that have positively impacted tens of thousands of children. Alongside this growing impact, we also embraced a year of learning and strategic planning. The more we give, the more inspired we are to give again—it’s a cycle of generosity that fuels itself. There are countless ways to spend our resources, but nothing compares to the reward of enabling compassionate individuals to uplift others. By supporting those who dedicate themselves to helping others, we’re creating ripples of positive change in communities far and wide.
In 2024, we hosted a very successful fundraiser in Morton, Illinois. Building on that momentum, we plan to introduce a new fundraiser in St. Petersburg, Florida. The formula is simple: the more funds we raise, the more lives we can impact.
Looking ahead to 2025, we’re committed to doing more of what we do best—giving. In addition to our ongoing grant-making efforts, we’re thrilled to announce a new initiative: scholarships for individuals who aspire to dedicate their lives to serving the special needs community. Stay tuned for more details; we’re excited to award our first scholarships in the coming year.
Of course, none of this would be possible without the incredible people who have contributed to the community we’ve created. While it would be impossible to name everyone who has contributed, I want to extend my heartfelt thanks to our board of directors, grant committee, and the many volunteers who supported us throughout the year, especially during our fundraising events. Your selflessness and dedication are truly what make this work possible.
It’s an incredible honor to support those who advocate for the special needs community. This journey is a dream come true, and the best is yet to come.
