In honor of Jeff Loeffelholz, the IRIS Foundation is founded that everyone has a unique voice to be heard and celebrated. Suicide rates have risen and we want to make a change through human connection. The Jeff Loeffelholz IRIS foundation is founded on the basis of finding hope in despair, and our aim is to spread the message: “Where there is rain, there is also sunshine”. The foundation is based on supporting the arts community and our goal is to bring to the forefront anyone who needs support in finding their voice to stand up against bullying, and to overcome the storm of feeling alone and helpless.
