THE BRUCE L. TAYLOR YOUTH FUND

Bruce Tyler was well-known in the Seattle area print, and business world as well as the nonprofit world. His commitment to children developed from his own experience with serious health issues. As a young diabetic, he understood first-hand the fear that hospitalization can bring. As an adult, he had a kidney pancreas transplant to cure his diabetes. It was at this point that he decided to dedicate his life to helping kids in crisis.

After serving as Art with Heart’s first Board President, he continued his pledge of helping Art with Heart help children in need. He was the first recipient of our 2006 Big Heart Community Service Award, which was designed to honor individuals dedicated to providing leadership and advocacy on behalf of at-risk and underprivileged youth in Washington.

In his honor, his friends have created The Bruce L. Tyler Youth Fund, which will allow his giving spirit and legacy to live on and continue to make a difference in the lives of youth in crisis through Art with Heart’s important work.

“We were given Chill & Spill shortly after the hurricane. The kids were afraid to trust and open up, but the book helped them; they learned a lot about themselves and how to handle their feelings. It has really made a difference.” ~Crystal Borrel, MSW
