Michael P. Donatucci Foundation

Our Story

On July 15, 2016, the world lost a bright light. Michael P. Donatucci, a son, brother, and friend, succumbed to the silent battle of depression. Despite his academic and professional achievements, Michael struggled with anxiety and depression, hidden behind a facade that many wear. His story is a reminder that mental illness does not discriminate and can affect anyone, regardless of their outward success.

In the wake of this tragedy, the Michael P. Donatucci Foundation was born from a place of grief and a desire to change the narrative surrounding mental health. The foundation aims to raise awareness about anxiety and depression among teens, ensuring that no one feels alone in their struggle. Through community support and the bonds of friendship, the foundation has launched impactful programs like Michael’s Giving H.A.N.D., which focuses on outreach and counseling for adolescents.

Impact

Since its inception, the foundation has delivered over 200 presentations to students, parents, and educators, reaching more than 10,000 individuals. These efforts empower communities to recognize the signs of anxiety and depression, providing essential tools and resources to support those in need.
