About

Founded by parents grappling with profound loss and unanswered questions following their child's suicide, the Chuckie F. Mahoney Memorial Foundation provides resources, education and financial support for programs to improve mental health and combat depression.

Openly sharing their personal story of a preventable tragedy, founders Chal and Debi Mahoney promote transparent discussions about mental health and suicide. The Foundation has given in excess of $400,000 in scholarships and grants to equip schools with training and resources to educate parents and students and remove the stigma for seeking help.

Chuckie F. Mahoney was a dean’s list student at Allegheny College who dreamed of becoming a child advocate lawyer. Through the Foundation’s work to help schools improve students’ mental health and combat depression, Chuckie’s legacy of assisting children endures.
