Our Inspiration

The David Phillips Foundation honors and preserves the memory of David Phillips, devoted husband to Allison, proud father to Laney, Sally, Ellie, Lucy, and Liam, Ironman & “IronDaddy,” ultra-marathoner, youth sports coach, philanthropist, community leader, and neighbor and friend to all.

Mission & Vision

The David Phillips Foundation supports and uplifts children and their families through recreation programs that allow them to heal, grow, and play.

The David Phillips Foundation improves the lives of children and their families, strengthens neighborhood ties, and builds community, through recreation, sports, and opportunities to “play.” Further, we work to support and uplift children and families who have lost a parent, by providing resources, and making connections with additional support providers in their communities.

DPF strives to offer programs in which diversity and individual differences are respected, valued, and celebrated. Inclusion and equity top DPF’s list of key principles.

Meet the Team

DPF is run by a team that is dedicated to providing opportunities for "PLAY" for all, and a path forward for families who have lost a parent.
