THE
GIBSON BRADLEY
F O U N D A T I O N
What sports do you like to play?” That was always his opening line when meeting new
people. At the age of three, he could throw a ball up and hit it with a bat for distances
that defied his size. He could swim from the time he was two. He could gather and
lead a group of neighbors into a game of whatever as easily as he could charm a
room of adults. As a natural athlete, he was up for any physical challenge. He loved
soccer, basketball, football, ping pong, and baseball. He learned to shoot, ski, boogie
board, and dance at camp. He made friends easily and always sought to find a
common bond, a shared passion, and a basis for understanding. He saw the world as
a social place and human connection as a social good. When the world lost Gibson
Bradley in a tragic car accident, a bright light was almost extinguished. Almost.
The family and friends of Gibson Bradley simply could not let that light go out. As a
result, the Gibson Bradley Foundation was created. The loss of a child is one of the
most devastating events in the life any family. Overwhelming financial considerations
should not add to that devastation. The foundation works with funeral homes to find
and fulfill some of the financial needs associated with laying a child to rest. Needless
to say, fundraising must be a huge part of our efforts.
You can make a huge difference in the lives of Alabama families when they need it
most. We are asking you to support the Gibson Bradley Foundation.

OUR STORY
The Gibson Bradley Foundation was started in honor of our son Gibson Bradley who lost his life in a car accident on Dec 15 2020. We wanted to find a way to show his love for others and out of this we came up with helping Alabama families pay for unplanned funeral expenses that they otherwise could not afford.
OUR MISSION
It is so easy to fall into a pattern of apathy as we go through our lives. Our organization was born out of a commitment to stop passing over the real issues of society, and deal with them head on. We have set out to aid those who need it most. gibsonbradleyfoundation is here to help, and we believe that change is possible when we put our hearts and minds to it.
