Founder's Story
Isaac Geralds is a visionary leader and the heart behind the Purple Rush Foundation. Born with an unwavering belief in second chances and community empowerment, Isaac transformed personal hardship into a powerful mission to uplift others. The Purple Rush Foundation began as a way to recognize unsung heroes—everyday people who embody courage, compassion, and community service.
Isaac created the Autism Cares Award to shine a light on those who give without expectation and love without limits. Under his leadership, the foundation is committed to breaking barriers, supporting underserved communities, and reminding the world that kindness is always worth celebrating.
