The John Drypen Foundation is a Michigan-based 501 (c) (3). Our mission is to provide support, education and inspiration to families that have faced a life-altering health event. This organization honors John Drypen, who passed away at the age of 22, after a life-long battle with a genetic disorder. Having seen the struggles John faced and having witnessed the perseverance and positive outlook that he maintained in his short life inspired us to start this foundation. We strive to help other children and young adults who have experienced life-threatening illnesses.
