We are a family-led foundation created to honor the life and legacy of Deedee Salmon by continuing the way she lived: celebrating excellence, empowering families, and living generously.

Founded by her three daughters, we exist to turn the values she left with us into tangible opportunities to recognize people, strengthen families, meet real needs, and make a meaningful difference in the community she called home. What began with one life well lived now continues through every person we have the opportunity to impact.

Our Why

The Goodness of the Lord in the Land of the Living

Psalm 27:13 says, "I believe that I shall look upon the goodness of the Lord in the land of the living." Those words have carried us through a season we never would have chosen. Losing our mom changed our lives forever, and nothing we build will replace having her here with us.

But we believe there is still goodness to be seen, and we want to spend our lives looking for it, participating in it, and creating more of it for others. This foundation is our way of honoring the life she lived by continuing the things she valued: celebrating people, strengthening families, and giving generously.

We will always wish she were here to do it with us, but until we see her again, we are going to keep looking for the goodness of the Lord in the land of the living and do everything we can to be part of it.

We believe there is still goodness to be seen in the land of the living, and this foundation is our way of honoring our mom by choosing to keep looking for it, living it, and creating more of it for others.
