That’s us putting the ball in your court.
Some young person out there may have the chance to swing for a home run—
or earn the opportunity to ride forward on a scholarship.
And if you happen to get that call back from us…

OUR INITIATIVES
01
COMMUNITY EMPOWERMENT
Chandler was only 17 years old when he was taken from us. He started his first steps in Kissimmee, FL in 1992 and thrived in St. Cloud, FL until 2009. Since then, his family and friends continue to honor his memory and the impact he made through a Foundation that carries on his Legacy. Our mission is simple but powerful: Stop Teen Violence and create opportunities for those in need across Osceola County, FL. Through strengthening local communities, embracing visionary leadership, and making strategic investments in resources, we work to foster self-sustaining growth in every neighborhood we serve.
02
EDUCATIONAL SCHOLARSHIPS
In partnership with the Osceola Education Foundation, our scholarships grew even further—from time to time, when we are able to secure matching 50¢ for every dollar awarded to students.
Together, we help remove financial barriers by supporting mentorship, guidance, and clear pathways to higher education.
It may begin with $1,000 in financial aid—made possible by thousands who give, creating benefits that can last a lifetime. 🎓
03
HEALTH & WELL-BEING
Our vision is a community where every young person grows up in a supportive, caring environment and has the opportunity to become a positive example for others. We would like to expand access to mental health care, wellness programs, and preventive support services. Currently, our efforts are limited to in-house mentorship, but our goal is to broaden these resources while actively working to prevent teen violence in our community.
Chandler lived these values every day. He mentored a young boy on his school bus—who proudly wore Chandler’s jacket each day—and quietly supported a young friend through the trauma of sexual assault with empathy and compassion.

SUSTAINABLE OUTREACH
Through mentorship, school partnerships, and local engagement, we provide guidance, resources, and opportunities that help young people choose positive paths and prevent teen violence before it begins.
Cultivating a Legacy of Targeted Philanthropy
The Chandler Collin Clark Foundation Legacy aka "CHANDLER'S LEGACY", was founded on the belief that purposeful giving can create lasting social change. We focus on strengthening communities through thoughtful support, mentorship, and opportunity. Our mission is to empower individuals, promote well-being, and build a stronger, more resilient future for the people we serve across Osceola County, FL.

I am incredibly grateful to Chandler's Legacy for awarding me this scholarship. Receiving this support means more to me than just financial assistance; it represents encouragement, belief, and a reminder that purpose can grow from even the most difficult circumstances.
The scholarship helped ease the financial burden of college, allowing me to focus more fully on my education and future goals. College can be overwhelming and knowing that there are organizations like Chandler’s Legacy investing in students makes a real difference.
Bringing awareness to teen violence is critically important. By honoring Chandler’s life through advocacy and education, this organization is creating change and helping protect others. I am proud to be connected to a cause that stands for awareness, prevention, and hope.
Thank you to Chandler’s Legacy for your generosity, your mission, and your commitment to making a difference. I am truly honored to be a recipient of this scholarship and will carry forward the values it represents.

Winning the Chandler Clark scholarship means carrying on the legacy of a fellow athlete who faced immense tragedy, and it fuels my determination to honor his memory through my own achievements. This award is a powerful reminder of awareness and the importance of supporting others, inspiring me to make a positive impact in both sports and life, just as Chandler would have.
