Tim Griffith Foundation

We are excited to announce that the San Francisco Examiner published an article on TGMF on June 10, 2008. Tamara Barak Aparton writes:

"As jubilant Giants fans celebrated Barry Bonds’ 700th home run Sept. 17, 2004, Tim Griffith was dying of a stab wound just outside of the ballpark.

For his mother, Redwood City resident Stacy Redman, the days following the attack were darkened by intense grief. But it also was then that Griffith’s legacy would be born.

After the 21-year-old’s funeral, Redman and her friends began thinking of ways to show people that Griffith was more than a victim of violence. He was the 5-year-old who once slipped his Christmas money to a homeless man. He was the young man who brought home stray animals and lost souls.

“Something positive had to come out of this,” Redman said. “It couldn’t be that he was lost and that’s that. His spirit was about helping people.”"
