The Mission of the Ian Clemens Foundation is threefold.
We provide ASSISTANCE, promote AWARENESS and offer
OPPORTUNITY.
ASSISTANCE
Our foundation assists families with children battling cancer by providing financial
assistance to children’s cancer centers emergency funds (funds available to help families
with travel expense, lodging, loss of income, and medical expense). We know first hand
how stressful both emotionally and financially this can be.
AWARENESS
We aim to increase awareness for organ and tissue donation, as well as help those going
through the transplantation process. Ian registered as an organ
donor the day he received his license. This was very important to him. He was able to be
an organ donor and provided the gift of sight to two people. Our board members
regularly volunteer with Eversight Michigan and Gift of Life Michigan at their events.
Michelle and Alan publicly speak on behalf of donor families.
OPPORTUNITY
We provide scholarship opportunities to well-deserving Wayne county high school
students pursuing a degree in Engineering both at University of Michigan (through The
Ian Clemens Memorial Scholarship for Future Engineers – University of Michigan
College of Engineering) and other public Michigan universities.
Our Mission
Continuing Ian’s Vision
To Date, since our inception (July 2016),
we have raised and distributed over $246,000.00 to those we serve.
We are a 100% volunteer organization, every donation we receive goes directly to support our mission.
