The Footprints in the Sand™ Foundation

The Footprints in the Sand™ Foundation is a 501 c (3) non-profit, public charity organization that is dedicated to helping Rockland & Bergen County families who have been affected by a recent tragedy.

Helping Local Children Survive Times of Crisis. Our mission is simple: to serve children in need. By supporting and locating programs that directly benefit the health and well being of our grantees, the Foundation is working to better the lives of children and their families.

The organization was founded in 2003 by the Villafranco Family to memorialize the death of William Ryan Villafranco.

We are a non-profit organization that requires funding to continue providing assistance to families in need. Please make a donation to the Footprints in the Sand™ Foundation by clicking the donate button below if you wish to assist us with our cause.
