Dear family and friends,

This is a very different year for us. After 16 years of walking with The Friendship Foundation and our family, we are slowly finding our new normal.  While Jeremy is no longer with us physically, he will most definitely be with us in spirit. The Friendship Foundation quite literally grew out of the desire to create an organic environment for Jeremy and other neurodiverse individuals to thrive, make friends, find joy and be a part of our community in a purposeful way. Many of you have been with us every step of the way.  Our commitment to The Friendship Foundation and its mission has not waivered.  Jeremy was fortunate enough to enjoy 20 years of incredible programs, events, camps and so much more.  The 1000's of neurodiverse individuals who have been a part of the FF family have benefitted in immeasurable ways.  The Friendship Campus is nearing completion (scheduled to open in early 2026).  This 3.25 acre, $55M campus in Redondo Beach will serve as a community center, vocational education center and hub of activity for this ever growing, underserved population. Thank you for your years of support of not just the Friendship Foundation but of the Zwickel Family. We would love for you to participate in the 17th Annual Skechers Walk on Sunday, Oct. 19th. Walk with us in person, virtually or support Team Zwickel with a donation so that we can continue to make the world a better place.  One friendship at a time.

With love and gratitude,

The Zwickel Family
