WHO WE ARE
The KEEPGOING 25 Foundation was created to remember someone very special—Michael Currin. Michael was strong, kind and always ready to serve others. He believed that even one small act of love could make a big difference. And guess what? He was right! His amazing spirit and light still inspires us every single day.
WHY KEEPGOING
“KEEP GOING” were the last words Michael’s dad said to him before Joe passed away. It means don’t give up, stay strong and keep trying, even when things are tough. That message became the Currin family's inspiration-and now it is at the heart of everything we do.
WHY 25
“25” was Michael’s jersey number but to us it means so much more. It stands for teamwork, purpose and helping others. When we lift each other up and work together, we can do awesome things—just like Michael did.
HOW WE SERVE
Thanks to KEEPGOING 25 supporters like you, we fund service programs for young people to develop leadership and problem-solving skills while fostering kindness and collaboration. Just like Michael, we believe YOU can be a leader, share love and make the world a better place... one act of kindness at a time.
KEEP GOING.
OUR MISSION IN ACTION
We are honoring Michael's legacy by encouraging young people—like you—to
LEAD. LOVE. SERVE. We believe that kindness, empathy and action can change the world. With your support, we fund ILLUMI-NITE and other youth-led service projects, inspiring young people to lead with compassion, act with courage and bring light to their communities. Want to be part of it?
GET INVOLVED. BE THE CHANGE. KEEPGOING...
