The Birth of the DI4W Foundation

Honoring W.C. Hudson Jr. Through Action

In June 2019, after a courageous battle with Non-Hodgkins Lymphoma, we lost our father, husband, and friend, W.C. Hudson Jr. His passing left a void, but also a powerful legacy that we were determined to carry forward.

The DI4W Foundation was created to continue W.C.'s mission—empowering young individuals who embody the same values he lived by. Through scholarships and community programs, we aim to provide opportunities for those who demonstrate leadership, academic excellence, athleticism, and a strong faith.
