Continuing Pete’s Legacy of Helping Others
The PWJ Foundation was created in memory of Pete Joyce, a man known for his generosity, compassion, and commitment to helping anyone in need.
Pete believed in showing up for people during difficult times. Whether someone needed guidance, support, or simply a helping hand, he was always there.
The PWJ Foundation was established to continue that spirit of giving by helping those facing hardship and providing meaningful support where it is needed most.
Helping people was Pete’s mission in life. Now it is ours too.
