At the Austin Reardon Scholarship Foundation, we are proud to partner with Life is Socks to support the Pine Street Inn. Every participant in our event will receive a pair of socks, and for each pair given, we donate another to those in need. In 2024, we donated 450 pairs of black socks and in 2025, we donated 500 pairs of blue socks. We aim to make an even greater impact in 2026 with green socks!

“The Austin Reardon Scholarship is a constant reminder for me to never take anything for granted, especially the people around me. This scholarship has impacted me greatly by providing a huge generosity toward myself and my family. The selflessness of the Reardon's by providing this scholarship despite the grief they have faced pushes me to be that way towards others."

"Our son brought so much light into the world, and even though he's no longer with us, we want his spirit to keep shining. This scholarship is our way of honoring his memory and ensuring that his kindness, generosity, and passion for learning continue to make a difference in the lives of others." #ShineAustinsLight

“Although I had never had the chance to know Austin personally, I've heard so many wonderful stories about him over the past few years. It's incredibly meaningful to me to receive a scholarhip that keeps his memory alive and ecnourages students to live with the same kindness, resilience and commitment to their community. Your generosity has made a real difference for me. I will honor Austin's legacy by working hard, giving back and making a positive difference whereever I can."
