Meet the Foundation Team

Compassionate advocates honoring April through community-centered mental health awareness.

The April T. Bocian Foundation was established in 2015 to honor the life and legacy of April Tayler Bocian, a compassionate young woman whose private struggle with depression and mental illness ended in suicide. Her family and supporters transformed profound loss into a commitment to education, connection, and prevention. From its Grove City home, the foundation brings people together through awareness efforts, annual Golf Outing fundraising, volunteer opportunities, and partnerships that broaden access to trusted resources. April’s warmth, empathy, and love of community continue to guide this work. The foundation serves individuals, families, donors, and advocates throughout Grove City, the greater Pittsburgh area, and beyond, encouraging honest conversations about mental health while helping community members turn concern into compassionate action.
