When we started this nonprofit after we lost Riley in 2024, we honestly didn’t know what the future would look like. We just knew we wanted his life, and his loss, to mean something more.

This year, we reached a milestone we were incredibly proud to be able to provide three $1,000 scholarships awarded through The Riley McLincha Legacy Fund.

As we wrap up the year, if you are looking for a year-end charity to support, please consider supporting our fund. Your donation helps us grow these scholarships and continue honoring a legacy built on generosity, resilience, and hope.

Thank you for walking this journey with us.
