About the TFF | About the TFF The Tommy Fuss Fund is a private foundation established by the Fuss family in memory of their son to promote medical research to further our understanding of mental illness and develop more effective means of diagnosing and treating the disease. Research aimed at identifying risk factors and biomarkers in the field of genetics and in furthering our understanding of how the brain works should result in new and improved diagnoses and treatments. In addition to establishing The Tommy Fuss Fund the Fuss family along with The Tommy Fuss Team is remembering Tommy by raising awareness and removing the stigmas associated with mental illness. The Tommy Fuss Team participates each year in the Out of the Darkness Overnight Walk sponsored by the American Foundation for Suicide Prevention.
