A father's legacy. A child's future.
Supporting Their Future.
Helping children who’ve lost a parent find hope, healing, and the opportunity to keep pursuing their dreams.
Mission
Our Mission
Every child deserves a chance to heal, grow, and move forward — especially after losing a parent.
The Ryan Harth Foundation provides scholarships, emotional support, and access to transformative programs for grieving children. Our primary commitment is helping kids attend Experience Camps, a life-changing bereavement program that offers connection, community, and support at no cost to families.
We also work directly with schools and counselors to identify families in need — offering help with educational costs, holiday support, and enrichment opportunities that bring joy and stability during difficult times.
Programs
Our Programs
Every summer in Port Austin, families, friends, and supporters come together to honor Ryan’s memory through a spirited day of golf, connection, and purpose. All proceeds directly fund scholarships for children who’ve lost a parent.

In Memory
In Memory of Ryan Harth
"Be kind. Be present. And when someone needs you — show up."
Ryan’s life was defined by quiet strength, compassion, and a genuine commitment to the people around him. He believed in showing up — for his family, his friends, and anyone who needed support. His spirit continues in every scholarship awarded, every child served, and every act of kindness done in his name.
This Foundation exists because of the love he gave so freely, and because every child facing loss deserves to feel supported, valued, and never alone.
