Patrick's Purpose Foundation

We’re celebrating and honoring all the moms and mother figures who make the world gentler through their love and kindness. Whether today is a celebration, or holds more weight, we are here for you💙

This Mental Health Awareness month, we're striving to be more kind and inclusive, just like Patrick. Everyone's struggles are unique, and we're committed to making a space where you feel valued. Check in on your people - it could be life saving💙

It’s alway a great day to hand out 1,000+ donuts to students!! A massive thank you to for putting on Donut Day and allowing us to be a part of it for the 3rd year in a row! As always, we couldn’t be more impressed with the students and how kind they are. We can’t wait for year 4!

The best day last week dedicating a bench at ! We are so proud and encouraged by the staff and students here, and look forward to continuing our support of their schools mission. They embody what it means to empower their students, and we are proud to partner with them!

Last week, we had the opportunity to speak to CdM students as a part of their Yellow Ribbon Week which brings awareness to su***de prevention! While the topic was heavy, we felt so much light leaving the chat with these students. Their questions were thoughtful and insightful, and we could not have been more encouraged by their openness. We are in good hands with these young leaders in our community💙

The 2026 Patrick “Patty” Turner Memorial Scholarship is open!! Get your application in now through April 30th!

Another Friday, another bench!! This one is extra special. Between the 4 Turner kids, we spent 14 consecutive years a Andersen! It is surreal to be back placing a bench on the campus where Emily, James, Brandel and Patrick spent so many years learning and playing. Many thanks to the Andersen faculty and PTA for helping bring this to life!

Eight years without our sweet Patrick💙. While what we have lost is immeasurable, we have also gained a responsibility to love louder, listen deeper, and care more intentionally. Patrick changed our hearts for the better.

Today is a day to remember all that Patrick was in his short 16 years, but also to thank our community for lifting us through this tragedy. We have been left speechless by the generosity, the action, and perhaps most importantly the change we have seen in how people treat mental health. We’re proud to be surrounded by people who have drastically changed the way that they think and have actively helped to break down the stigma in their circles. For all of that, we thank you💙

It’s always a good week when there’s a bench unveiling!! rolled out the red carpet for us and their new Buddy Bench! It was so awesome to see how passionate their student body is about leading with kindness in all that they do. We’re lucky to have these students and the Ensign staff set such a positive example in our community!

What a day! Newport you showed UP! Thank you to everyone who joined us for the 7th annual Walk With Us! We are biased but we might say this was our most successful walk yet! You all continue to show how powerful the NB community is, and we are so lucky to be surrounded by so much love and support. We are looking forward to an even more powerful 2026💙

Happy heavenly birthday, Patrick🤍. What we’d give to see what 24 would bring for you, but we find comfort in the lives that are changing because of your message. Your life continues to spark change, conversations, and hope. We love you buddy!
