The Flyin Ryan Hawks Foundation is a non-profit endeavor inspired by the life of Ryan Hawks. The foundation was founded in April of 2011 after Ryan Hawks, a well-known and widely respected extreme skier died last spring from injuries sustained during a Subaru Freeskiing World Tour event in Kirkwood, CA. To honor his legacy as a person, his family set up a non-profit foundation called the Flyin Ryan Hawks Foundation.
The foundation has a twofold mission:
- To honor his humanity by sharing Ryan’s 13 core principles that he wrote himself and that were discovered on his computer after his death. These 13 simple principles have the power to change people’s lives and thereby make this world a better place…one person at a time.
- To provide scholarships to deserving adventurers who are: financially disadvantaged, passionate about their pursuit, and represent the principles for which Ryan was widely known and admired.
Our Mission Statement:
To INSPIRE young people to live every day, all day and never stop exploring life. To EXPOSE them to the world of outdoor adventure and to TEACH Ryan’s principles of living and core values.
The Foundation plans to accomplish its mission by:
- Inspiring individuals of all ages to become Flyin Ryan Ambassadors
- Awarding scholarships to adventurers who demonstrate Ryan’s core values and whose passion is hampered by financial constraint
- Teaching Ryan’s principles of living and core values during clinics run by our Team Flyin Ryan Coaches
