Honoring the Legacy of John Rush

At the Foundation for the Children of the Californias (FCC), we are honored to celebrate the extraordinary life and impact of John Rush, a devoted leader, mentor, and tireless advocate for children’s health and education. For over 25 years, John poured his wisdom, kindness, and vision into advancing FCC’s mission, leaving a legacy that continues to inspire us today.

A Lifelong Advocate for Children

John’s commitment to serving children went far beyond board meetings and initiatives. He believed deeply in the importance of opening doors to health, education, and opportunity, and worked tirelessly to remove barriers for underserved families. Through his leadership, compassion, and unshakable dedication, John helped FCC grow into the organization it is today, touching countless lives across our border region.

Carrying His Legacy Forward

John was a humble man and never looked for personal recognition, but rather organizational impact. He built bridges across communities, encouraged innovation, and always reminded us to keep children at the heart of every decision. To honor his remarkable contributions, FCC has created the John Rush Legacy Fund, ensuring that his spirit of service will continue to uplift generations of children.
