Our Purpose
Spreading Love and Gratitude in Our Community
The mission of the Melanie Rychlik Foundation is to continue the legacy of its namesake by spreading love and gratitude in our community.
The Melanie Rychlik Foundation, a 501(c)(3) organization, honors the life of Melanie Puddefoot Rychlik, a compassionate, strong-willed woman who lived life to its fullest.
She had many passions — tennis and travel, among them — but above all, she was a champion of the underdog. Volunteering with CASA, Make-a-Wish and Mobile Loaves & Fishes, she was steadfastly dedicated to helping those in need, whether they were people or pets. Melanie was a force for good in this world, and with the Melanie Rychlik Foundation, we aim to continue her legacy.
