Established in 2015, the April T. Bocian Foundation was created in memory of April Tayler Bocian, whose warmth, empathy, and caring spirit continue to inspire this work. After April’s death by suicide, her family and community chose to turn profound loss into purposeful advocacy for mental health awareness, depression education, and suicide prevention. Based in Grove City, the foundation brings people together through resource sharing, volunteer involvement, the annual Golf Outing, and partnerships that broaden access to support. Its connection to the greater Pittsburgh area reflects the community that shaped April’s life and legacy. Today, the foundation remains committed to compassionate conversations, meaningful action, and helping individuals and families know they are not alone.
The April T. Bocian Foundation honors April’s memory by raising awareness about mental health, depression, and suicide prevention. It connects community members with trusted resources, promotes the 988 Suicide & Crisis Lifeline, supports women’s wellness through EmpowHer Retreat, and creates opportunities for people to volunteer, fundraise, sponsor events, and share the message that help and hope matter.
