The Ryan Brubaker Foundation grew out of a love for our son, Ryan, who passed on September 11, 2012 at the age of 21. He was a graduate of Warwick High School, Lancaster Career and Technology Center and Thaddeus Stevens College of Technology. Although Ryan was never one to be in the spotlight we believe he would be delighted to know that an organization with his namesake is reaching out to help others and that three of our partners are institutions which had significant influence in his life.

Ryan had a caring, gentle spirit and a deep love for family and friends. His affable style and huge smile could light up a room. One of our goals is to light up the lives of kids temporarily living in darkness through affliction, addiction and/or mental or physical instability. “Helping local youth in need” is a broad mission designed specifically to allow flexibility in options for assisting and benefiting adolescents with a plethora of issues. Counseling services, mission retreats, humanitarian experiences, etc. are all avenues we will consider as a means for changing the direction of a struggling youth.

The Ryan Brubaker Foundation is a registered 501c3 organization. Donations to this organization are tax exempt. Contributions support “local youth in need.”
