The Be Grundy Foundation is dedicated to cultivating grit, resilience, and empathy in individuals of all backgrounds, with a special emphasis on empowering females. Inspired by our namesake,
Grundy—an extraordinary pitbull who survived for over a year in the woods, we believe that unwavering determination can transform adversity into an opportunity for growth.
Central to our teaching is the conviction that there are only two true failures: quitting and not learning or growing from mistakes or obstacles. By equipping people—especially young women and female athletes—with the tools to confront setbacks head-on, we help them develop a mindset that embraces both challenges and triumphs as fuel for personal evolution. We do this through tailored workshops, coaching sessions, and outreach programs.
The Be Grundy Foundation guides participants in setting bold goals, responding to failure with renewed focus, and maintaining empathy in their pursuit of excellence. We show how grit is more than just perseverance: it’s the blend of passion, self-awareness, and the ability to adapt when life takes unexpected turns. At the same time, empathy grounds these efforts in genuine care for others, reminding us to uplift one another along the journey. By integrating Grundy’s survival story into our mission, we highlight the power of resilience and the value of compassion.
Our aim is to spark meaningful conversations—whether in schools, athletic programs, or community groups—that challenge individuals to elevate their thinking and discover their potential. At The Be Grundy Foundation, we stand firm in our belief that, by facing obstacles with determination and learning from every stumble, people can create a ripple effect of positive change for themselves and those around them.
