In Loving Memory of Skylar Gwin

Skylar’s life was marked by joy, perseverance, advocacy, and a deep desire to make a difference.

His passion for life and his remarkable smile, despite many challenges, has forever changed our lives.

In 2023, Rejoice Project was honored to partner with Skylar and his dad, Paul, as the ongoing recipient of their annual Skylar's Run 5K, advocating for families to have access to safe, clean water through receiving water filters.

From that first race, Skylar became a passionate advocate for providing clean water to vulnerable families in Kenya and shared it with his community and the world.

Through his example, he showed us that EVERYONE can make a difference.

Many Kenyan families' lives have been forever changed because of Skylar. To date, more than 550 families have received sustainable water filters through the support of Skylar and others who joined him in the fight for clean water.

Gifts to Skylar's Memorial Fund will help ensure that this number continues to grow, creating lasting impact and making access to clean water a permanent part of Skylar’s legacy.

While we deeply miss our friend and his beautiful, joyful presence, we are grateful for the hope we have in knowing that Skylar is fully healed and running through heaven in the presence of his Savior. May his legacy of joy, advocacy, and compassion continue to inspire others to make a difference—one family, one filter, and one life at a time.
