OUR STORY

Screen Shot 2023-03-01 at 9.57_edited.jp

The KEEP GOING 25 Foundation is inspired by Michael Currin. Michael lived for 19 remarkable years. He was an outstanding student, a gifted athlete (#25) and a natural leader. More importantly though, he was kind and generous, a person who lived his life with honor, humor, humility and purpose.

Keep going story

As a child, Michael lived through the traumatic passing of his father Joe on a family vacation. After falling ill in the middle of a family fun run, Joe’s final words to Michael were simple, powerful, and stuck with him for the rest of his life. He turned to Michael and just said, “KEEP GOING.” In many ways, dealing with his dad’s death was what made Michael who he was. It taught him about the power of resilience, the world’s need for leadership, and the benefit of seeking mentors to fill the void his father left. We are inspired by his life and his ability to bounce back from adversity. KEEP GOING 25 honors Michael’s legacy, funding programs that develop inner strength and resiliency in students to help them persevere in the face of adversity. 

We help others KEEP GOING.
