This week, Eric and Terry Murray, the parents of the late PGA TOUR player Grayson Murray, announced the official launch of the Grayson Murray Foundation in their son’s honor. Murray, who was open about his personal experience with anxiety, depression and addiction, passed away on May 25, 2024 at the age of 30.
“Grayson touched the hearts of so many by sharing his own mental health challenges,” said Eric and Terry Murray. “He utilized his platform as a multi-time champion on the PGA TOUR to reach and inspire those in need – and we are determined to continue his generosity and unwavering commitment to help make a difference in the lives of others.”
The mission of the Grayson Murray Foundation is to raise awareness and support of mental health and addiction challenges faced by individuals from all walks of life. The Foundation aims to create a noticeable impact on mental health and addiction care by supporting innovative research, expanding access to essential services and fostering a culture of understanding inspired by Murray’s legacy of compassion, resilience and hope.
In addition to the financial impact and resources the Grayson Murray Foundation will provide for others experiencing mental health and addiction issues, the Foundation aims to inspire kindness, empathy and acceptance for all.
“No matter what he was going through, Grayson always wanted to lift up others,” said Eric and Terry Murray. “Let us all strive to embody the compassion he demonstrated by being kind to one another.”
