The Ryan Harth Foundation was built to honor Ryan Harth Steigerwald — a devoted father, loyal friend, and compassionate presence whose kindness shaped every life he touched. Today, our board and volunteers are focused on turning that spirit into lasting support for children coping with loss.
What We’re Working On Now
- Big Ryan Classic 2026 — our flagship fundraiser on September 19, with expanded sponsorship and registration options on the website.
- Experience Camps partnership — continuing to fund camp experiences and exploring cross-promotion so more families learn about available support.
- School and counselor outreach — building pathways for educators and grief professionals to refer families who may benefit from foundation programs.
- Website and giving tools — improving online donations, event registration, and support applications so help is easier to find and access.
On the Horizon
Our board is also planning for 2027 and beyond — including potential new events such as a Down State golf tournament and pickleball gatherings designed to bring communities together and expand our reach. Long term, we’re working toward bigger goals: more scholarships, stronger family support systems, corporate partnerships, and national recognition for grief support done well.
Ryan believed that if you can lift someone up — even a little — you should. That idea guides every program we build and every event we host. Thank you for being part of this journey.
