The Ian Tilmann Foundation, Inc. is a charity based in Safety Harbor, Florida (Tampa Bay).
The core mission of The Ian Tilmann Foundation is brain injury prevention. We accomplish this mission with a free helmet program.
Our approach is simple and direct. If you pledge to wear a helmet when skating, the Foundation will give you one...FREE!
The Foundation was founded by Marcy Tilmann in late 2005 after the death of Ian Tilmann from a skateboard accident. Since Ian's
death the Foundation has given 1,000+ FREE Helmets to skaters who promise to wear them. In 2008 the FREE Helmet program will
focus on public and private skate parks that serve as the "FREE Helmet" store in their neighborhoods. The Foundation is striking
partnerships with City (County) Recreation Departments and private operators of public skate parks. In 2008, the Foundation
expects to be operating in 6-12 public skate parks on the Florida west coast and 3 skate parks in south Louisiana.
Corporate sponsors, private donations and product sponsors are needed to support he Foundation's growth. Please contact us if
there is an opportunity to work with your organization or personally. We welcome your support and inquiries.
THE IAN TILMANN FOUNDATION, INC. was incorporated in November 2005 as a Florida Non-Profit corporation. The Foundation is
certified as a Public Charity under the Internal Revenue Code 501(c)(3) with Florida Tax Exemption Certification.
