“Once every generation, history brings us to a critical turning point. Occasionally in life, there is that instant when it’s achievable to make a change for the better- to positively affect those around you. This is one of those moments.” – T.C. Powell
Our Logo
In 2000, Ty Powell conceptually drew how he envisioned
the best relations/exchanges among people: unified, harmonious, selfless
and altruistic. The missing person/(puzzle piece) in the middle
represents the perfect piece that we all can give to children in need
no matter what our circumstance. His inspiration serves as the Foundation's
logo, representing hope for children everywhere.
