Ian's Foundation was formed in memory of Ian Fincke who passed away tragically at the age of 16 from a traumatic brain injury sustained during a skateboarding accident in 2008.
The foundation was formed to advance the safety and welfare of San Antonio youth through education and scholarship awards. The foundation provides free helmets to underprivileged youth and conducts helmet safety talks at local schools and events throughout San Antonio. Over 8,500 helmets have been distributed to date.
Ian’s passion for the game of soccer was the inspiration behind the upcoming 16th Annual Ian’s Cup memorial event to be held on Tuesday, January 28th, 2025. Ian’s Cup is a soccer match held each year between Johnson HS and Reagan HS (both schools Ian attended). The Johnson High School and Reagan High School boy’s match will kick off the event at 5PM at Comalander Stadium followed by the girl’s match at 7PM. The school with the highest aggregate score for the night will take home the coveted Ian’s Cup Trophy and bragging rights for the year. Scholarships will be awarded post-game to four deserving seniors. Awarded seniors will also select a local organization to receive a matching $500 award. These organizations carry on Ian’s legacy by providing wheelchair soccer players the opportunity to play the sport they love and/or providing helmets to those in need.
