Our mission is to advance epilepsy research, support students pursuing careers in special education, and advocate for vital epilepsy safety legislation. Through this work, we ensure Dylan’s legacy of kindness, inclusion, and purpose continues to grow.

Dylan Geller

Dylan was a devoted son, beloved brother, and friend to all. A vibrant and compassionate man of just 20 years, Dylan touched the lives of all who know him with his warmth, humor and light. He graduated from Eastern Regional High School in 2023 and was a rising Junior at Rowan University.

He was diagnosed with epilepsy at the age of 12 and, despite the challenges, he did not let it hold him back. Dylan continued to strive to live life, just like other kids his age. He participated in, and later volunteered for, various epilepsy awareness programs, embodying resilience, courage, and compassion.

During his last two years of high school, he volunteered with his school’s special needs population in Room 17, an experience that inspired Dylan to major in Special Education with a minor in Physical Education. His dream after college was to launch an Adaptive Physical Education Program at his former high school, helping students with special needs who were unable to participate in traditional gym classes.

Dylan loved sports and competition of all kinds. Dylan was a loyal fan of all Philadelphia sports, most recently cheering on his beloved Birds, Superbowl LIX Champions, in New Orleans.

Dylan had a gift for making others feel seen, valued, and uplifted - he truly believed in the dignity and potential of every person.

Six people with different skin tones wear white bracelets that say 'DO IT LIKE DYLAN'; they are gathering their fists together in a show of unity.

The foundation was created in loving memory of our brother, Dylan, whose compassion and resilience inspired everyone who knew him. Living with epilepsy, Dylan faced challenges with strength and purpose, dedicating himself to helping others through his studies in special education.

Our mission is twofold: to support epilepsy research and promote safety and awareness, and to empower future educators through scholarships for students pursuing degrees in special education. Through this work, we carry forward Dylan’s passion for education and advocacy, creating lasting impact in the lives of others.
