David Pothier

1985 - 2019

ABOUT THE FOUNDATION

The David Pothier Gold Medal Foundation is a way to honor the legacy of David Pothier, a special olympian athlete that was an inspiration and friend to many. David's life was full of honesty, integrity, sincerity and his love for family, friends, and teammates.  His optimism and tenacity was an inspiration to all that knew him.  

WHAT THE FOUNDATION IS

This non-profit foundation was created in David's loving memory to support and promote individuals with developmental disabilities, and a way to pay forward the love, support, and generosity the community provided David throughout his life

WHAT THE FOUNDATION DOES

The foundation provides scholarship grants for siblings of individuals with special needs, specifically towards high school seniors going to college who may need additional assistance towards the beginning of their higher education journey. 

Often, siblings of individuals with developmental disabilities are the foundation of families going through difficult times; providing care, support, and unconditional love needed to keep families together and surviving through struggling times. This comes with great personal sacrifice of the sibling that is often overlooked, in which this foundation pays special thanks and tribute to those selfless siblings that have put others’ needs in front of theirs.
