The Ryan Andrews Newton Fund

The Ryan Andrews Newton Fund Mission: Empowering youth, in memory of Ryan Newton’s life, through entrepreneurship, athletics, and performing arts.

Sadly, we lost our beloved Ryan Newton (aka "Newts") shortly after he turned 25 and returned from a teaching project in Ghana when he was misdiagnosed and mistreated for malaria in NJ in 2015. We established The Ryan Andrews Newton Fund to further Ryan's legacy by empowering youth through entrepreneurship, performing arts, and athetics, consistent with Ryan's spirit and talents.

As we approach the end of 2025 and prepare to begin winding down The Ryan Andrews Newton Fund in 2026😒 we wanted to express our gratitude for your generosity and support over the past 9 years in making The RAN Fund a success.πŸ™

Together, we contributed *nearly* $100,000 to our partnership organizations Building Beats Onechild Ghana and Volo Kids Foundation, fulfilling our mission, above and beyond what we dreamed, of in Ryan’s memory through and . πŸ’ͺ

On this New Year’s Eve, we hope that you will support us one last time as part of your year-end giving.

In this final year of our nonprofit and 10th anniversary of Ryan's passing, we are just a few thousand dollars shy of:

*Bringing our total Fund lifespan contributions to our partnership organizations to $100,000 πŸ‘

and

*Being able to set aside sufficient funds to keep up theRANfund.org website for 10 more years as a longstanding tribute to Ryan's memory and . πŸ™Œ
