YOUR VOICE, TIME, & GENEROSITY CAN SAVE LIVES
The Taylor Hagen Memorial Foundation is a non profit organization determined to build a community of courage, acceptance & support.

COPE, HOPE, & LOVE
BEREAVED MOTHER’S RETREATS
For our bereaved mothers, we host 3 retreats per year, creating a warm and safe space for moms to bond and connect with each other, and receive grief support and guidance. These retreats are designed to be a safe haven for those of us mothers that have suffered the loss of a child. Sadly, if you are reading this, you may understand the importance of having someone that can empathize and share with on you on the same level of loss that we have experienced. After the loss of our son, we very quickly realized how important support from others that truly understand the grief of child loss is. Having found a community of amazing Angel Moms, and participating in other bereaved mothers’ retreats, we knew we needed to share that experience with others. Together, with other Angel Mothers, we have created the sacred retreats.
A Space To Be Held
A compassionate, restorative retreat designed to give grieving mothers the space, support, and stillness needed to rest, reflect, and feel understood among others who truly get it.
Connection Through Shared Loss
These retreats bring bereaved mothers together in a safe, nurturing environment where shared experiences create deep connection, gentle healing, and a sense of belonging.
Rest, Remember, Rebuild
Through guided reflection, meaningful conversation, and moments of quiet restoration, mothers are invited to honor their loss while tending to their own emotional and spiritual well-being.
OUR PROGRAMS THAT
MAKE AN IMPACT
Youth Programs

Scholarship Opportunities
We’re proud to offer scholarship opportunities for Skyline High School Hockey players—created in memory of Taylor Hagen and the incredible legacy he left on and off the ice. A tribute to his passion, spirit, and love for the game.
Awareness Events
We’re excited to be out and about all year long—raising awareness, building connection, and showing up for our community with every event we attend and host! From local collaborations to our fabulous annual Vision Gala, we’re all in and ready to make a difference!
Hope Grows In Safe Conversations
By normalizing discussions around mental health and suicide prevention, we create environments rooted in compassion and trust. These conversations can lead to earlier intervention, deeper understanding, and a shared sense of responsibility to look out for one another.

OUR WHY
Here’s an insiders look at our foundation and why we do what we do. From annual fundraisers to educational events, each gathering is a chance to unite for a cause bigger than ourselves.
You playing small does not serve the world. There is nothing enlightened about shrinking so the other people won't feel insecure around you.
Don't be afraid to be amazing.
Don't dilute yourself for any person for any reason. YOU ARE ENOUGH. Be unapologetically you.
