Our Story.

Out of tragedy comes so much good….

In 2022, our lives were forever changed when we suffered the unthinkable loss of our beautiful son and friend, Tristin.

Out of his passing, Tristin’s Project, an Oregon based 501(c)(3) corporation was born to carry on his legacy in spreading happiness and normalizing kindness. Tristin left us far too soon, when he had so much left to offer this earthly world, so we plan to do it for him!

Tristin’s Motto in life was to “Find happiness and bring it to others.”

From his motto we derived our mission: FINDING HAPPINESS AND BRINGING IT TO OTHERS THROUGH RANDOM ACTS OF KINDNESS.

How will our mission present itself?

Throughout the year, Tristin’s Project volunteers will hold random “Kindness Events”, locally and in our surrounding communities of Salem, Oregon with the vision of not only making people around us happy, but to also ignite a ripple affect of kind deeds~with the hope of changing the landscape of how we treat one another, for the better. We need kindness more than ever.

Tristin’s Project challenges you to each and every day~wake with gratitude, find a little happiness, and bring it to others.

Let’s normalize being kind together!
