PD3 Foundation

PD3 Foundation PD3 promotes mental well-being for all individuals and families through awareness, support, and advo Mental illness can impact anyone, anywhere, at any time.

We came face to face with that reality in January, 2021. We lost one of the world’s brightest lights. A son, brother, nephew, grandson, cousin, and friend. Parker DuBois had so much more life left to live. He was just 22 years old. The idea of PD3 began in April, 2021. We knew Parker’s life was going to serve a greater purpose, and we had to make sure that would happen. We don’t want anyone else to go through the pain and suffering that Parker went through. We don’t want any more families to go through losing a loved one to su***de. The grief, pain, and emptiness we still feel can be avoided by countless other families through awareness, support, and advocacy. We know we can’t fight this stigma alone, but with the community’s help, we can do our part to end su***de and carry on Parker’s legacy. Your help and support mean the world to us.

September is Su***de Prevention Month. 💙

This month, we’re reminded that a simple conversation, a check-in, or letting someone know they’re not alone can make a difference.

Su***de prevention starts with connection. It starts with asking, “How are you really doing?” and being willing to listen without judgment.

If you’re struggling, please know that you matter, your life matters, and you don’t have to walk through it alone. And if you’re worried about someone you love, reach out. Sometimes, the smallest gesture can open the door to the help they need.

Let’s use this month to check in, speak openly, listen more, and remind the people around us that they are never alone. 💙

Last night, we hosted our 5th annual PD3 Foundation football tournament. 🏈

This event is about reaching young men, like Parker, right where they are, and reminding them that it’s okay to not be okay, and that there are resources and people who care deeply about them.

We’re grateful to have USC Athletics Hall of Fame member, 9-year NFL veteran, and mental health advocate Corey Miller return as our guest speaker. Corey’s testimony is one that always resonates with the high school athletes who attend, and his message continues to touch our hearts year after year.

Thank you to everyone who helped us honor Parker’s legacy and love of football in such a meaningful way. 💙❤️
