Our Mission and Story

Sharing the love of the outdoors.
 
For nearly a year and a half of my life, Between Dec 21, 2011 and April 16th, 2013, I was blessed with a beautiful grandson, Sawyer Mason Adams.

 

Sawyer changed the world as I knew it, he changed my family and he changed the direction of my life! Sawyer reminds me to this day that no one is promised a tomorrow, and that as people, we need to take time to smell the proverbial roses.

Even though it has been years since Sawyer’s passing, our family and friends are still haunted by the loss of such a beautiful spirit, I can still see Sawyer’s face like the last time I saw it was this morning.

A few years ago, I was inspired by a friend who had experienced the loss of a child. He inspired me to use my pain and sadness, to channel it into something beautiful and positive. It has been a long journey of self-discovery to simply muster the strength to talk about this, without falling apart, but the need to honor his memory is so powerful to me!

 

Guys, I can’t tell you how much joy it gives me to introduce you to the Sawyer Mason Foundation! Founded in 2021, The Sawyer Mason Foundation is a true 501C3 Non-Profit created with the mindset of “Inspiring The Love Of Nature”. It is as simple as that!

If you know anything about me, you know I am an outdoor junky! Camp, fish, hunt, kayak, hike, explore, create, – I build things out of natural stone and wood! I needed to find some ways to change the world (in Sawyer’s honor) that would help heal our society by getting them out into the fresh air & off of their devices, a way to help bring people together and into nature.

 
Based on my career in water features, I have experienced the healing effects of water, and what it does for people and their well being. A peaceful oasis, boasting the soothing sounds of flowing water, could be the place that really helps a person-in-need find some of the peace of mind they deserve.

 

It is the little things in life that matter and this is a great opportunity for us all to make a difference 🙂
