Dave Mirra Foundation Inspires Through Action Sports and Community Support

The Dave Mirra Foundation has been launched to honor the legacy of BMX legend Dave Mirra, who passed away in 2016. The foundation focuses on celebrating Mirra's passions while inspiring youth to pursue action sports. Katie Moses Swope, a close associate of Mirra, has spearheaded the foundation's establishment, which will engage in philanthropic efforts aimed at underprivileged youth. The initial board meeting is scheduled for mid-December 2024. Madison Mirra, one of his daughters, expressed a desire for the foundation to convey a powerful message of resilience and encouragement as part of her father's legacy. She, along with her sister Mackenzie, hopes that the foundation will positively impact future generations and promote the importance of passion and perseverance. Mirra's contributions to the action sports community are recognized widely, and he holds a significant place in the hearts of many athletes, including figures such as Tony Hawk and Travis Pastrana, who serve on the foundation's board. The foundation will embody Mirra's spirit of positivity and his dedication to helping others succeed in their pursuits. Additionally, a documentary titled Miracle Boy: The Dave Mirra Story is set to release in 2025, further commemorating his life and impact.
