 On September 11, 2001 Mark Bavis lost his life aboard United Airlines flight 174 which struck the South Tower of the World Trade Center. His loss was a devastating blow to the National Hockey League and all who knew and loved him. The Mark Bavis Leadership Foundation was born out of Mark’s devotion to young men and women who are willing to work hard in their pursuit of success. Mark devoted much of his life to the development of young men and women, encouraging them to follow their dreams. He coached them in hockey, a game he loved, but more importantly, he was a role model, mentor and friend to them all. The hope of the Mark Bavis Leadership Foundation is that it will make a positive impact on its recipients and that they will in turn make an impact on the future of this country. That will be Marks continued and lasting legacy. The family and friends of Mark Bavis have established this foundation in Mark’s name to preserve his memory and to perpetuate the principles by which he lived every day and through which he touched the lives of many. The Mark Bavis Leadership Foundation was created to allow deserving young men and women opportunities and experiences similar to those which contributed to making Mark the person that he was. The foundation provides selected recipients with annual grants ranging from $1000 to $5000 to be used as specifically requested for school tuition, summer programs and other appropriate extracurricular activities.
