About Us
About the Foundation
Mark’s dedication to his family and friends was truly inspiring and his love for children left a lasting impression on all who knew him. This foundation has been set up to continue supporting children in his name.
Mark was above all, a humanitarian. His compassion, intelligence and love created a light in the lives of others that was a testimony to the size of his heart. His laughter was big and contagious and his charisma could not be ignored. The positive impact his life had in this community and the world can and will be continued on through the good works of the Foundation.
Our Mission
The Mark Wandall Foundation is a 501 (c)3, non-profit organization that provides support and assistance to grieving children who have lost a family member or guardian.
Through our partnerships with Comfort Zone Camp, our equine assisted therapy program and our scholarship program, we trust that we can transform a child’s broken spirit into a beautiful spark that will light the way to a happy, healthy and optimistic future.
The Mark Wandall Foundation’s programs not only benefit grieving children but serve as a tribute to Mark and Melissa’s daughter Madisyn Grace, who was born just two weeks after her father’s fatal crash.
