The Board of Directors of the Curran Foundation are extremely passionate and fully aligned around our mission of positively impacting the lives of children and young adults through education, athletics, and health programs. Michael and Robyn Curran established the Foundation with a vision to give back to their community through leadership, funding, and innovative programs and projects like the nonprofit Triangle Aquatic Center in Cary, N.C.

Their daughter Danielle Curran Williams as a Director and her husband Travis who is the Executive Director of the Foundation are now carrying forward the Foundation legacy in Manatee County, Florida with an emphasis in Lakewood Ranch. The goal is for the Foundation to be a generational legacy which is transitioning from its Founder, to Danielle and Travis and to their children, Trevor and Peyton as well as future generations so the Foundation’s mission to positively impact the lives of children and young adults will benefit generations of children well into the future.
