Introducing The HT40 Foundation

January 12, 2023

Today The #HT40 Foundation’s application for incorporation was officially submitted to the State of Connecticut.

We chose this date in honor of Hayden, as the young man and the foundation he inspired now share the same birthday.

We’re determined to ensure this day remains an annual day of celebration, just as it would be if Hayden were here with us. And just as we’d come to this day and look back at a year lived along with anticipation for the year ahead in the life of a young man, we’ll do the same with the work he has inspired.

Through that lens we’ve spent the last few months preparing and organizing ourselves. We’ve locked arms together as founding members, lined up the resources and partners we need to support us, and begun work on our first initiative, tentatively slated for this coming August.

We’re very fortunate to already be working with a world-class creative agency, an all-star influencer, and a premiere youth sports organization in addition to several meaningful youth programs in and around our community as partners in this initiative.

Please subscribe to our newsletter at the bottom of the Home Page to stay up to date on our progress in bringing this idea to life.

It wasn’t long ago one of our board members left a career in marketing and advertising, with the open-ended intention of “making something new.” We’re setting out on this journey with hope and optimism, thinking maybe the thing we can make is a difference, just like Hayden would have.
