Our story…

What we learned with Ryan’s situation is that until you go through something in life, it’s hard to understand it. Unfortunately, we now understand how difficult it is to see someone you love suffering with a life-threatening illness, both physically and emotionally.  The Foundation’s goal is to make a difference. The Ryan Richards Foundation Inc. is a 501 (c)(3) charitable organization formed by Ryan’s closest family and friends in an effort to give back to the community he loved.

First and foremost, we want to help families suffering from cancer.  Our donations represent a small tap on the shoulder to tlet them know that we undertand what they are going through and not alone.  To date, we have helped numberous families affected by cancer.

On a larger scale, the Ryan Richards Foundation is helping fund medical advancements with a total donation of over $135,000 to the Dana Farber Cancer Institute, specifically for NUT Midline Carcinoma clinical trials.  These funds help finance targeted therapy methods for thse cancers, and most recently funded the first ever global conference on NUT Carcinoma and treatment options.  

The foundation has endowed two scholarships annually in Ryans memory to local Falmouth High School Seniors attending a 4-year college.
