We are here to champion perseverance and potential
The Delbert B. Madison II Foundation honors an extraordinary young man who never let Duchenne Muscular Dystrophy diminish his spirit or determination. Despite facing significant physical challenges, Delbert graduated with honors, served as honorary football captain, and inspired everyone around him with his unwavering positive attitude.
Today, we continue his legacy by providing scholarships to high school seniors who demonstrate similar resilience in overcoming their own life challenges. We believe that determination in the face of adversity deserves not only recognition but also tangible support toward achieving educational dreams.

How our Foundation got started
Following Delbert's passing in 2020, his family established this foundation to continue his inspiring legacy. Despite being diagnosed with Duchenne at age 7 and using a wheelchair by middle school, Delbert graduated with honors and maintained an unwavering positive attitude. The standing ovation he received at graduation symbolized his profound community impact. Today, we honor his memory by supporting resilient students who embody his remarkable spirit.
