Empowering Opportunity

Giving young men and women an opportunity to succeed.

Our Purpose.

“To ease another’s heartache is to forget one’s own.” 
-Abraham Lincoln

The Raffy Family Foundation exists to help those needing a first step on their path of opportunity.

We seek out young men and women trying to find success – in athletics, music, entrepreneurship – but find most opportunities beyond their grasp. We provide a way for those driven to improve themselves, to be able to grab on to the first rung of a ladder and have a chance to pull themselves up.

Working with our partners, we are able to extend the reach of the Raffy Family Foundation by connecting opportunities in higher education, entrepreneurship and personal development.

We hope you join us in bringing the path of success to within reach of those whom desire to pursue it.

-Tom and Lori

Testimonial.

Path of Life has been extremely fortunate for the partnership we have with Tom and Lori. Their partnership goes well beyond the financial support they provide, and their constant encouragement, friendship, advocacy, and emotional support of our strenuous efforts helps us keep going. I can say without a doubt that we would not have been able to move our work forward without their support.
