The Work We Do

George Gerchow

Founder

If we can save one family from feeling the pain of the unnecessary loss of a beautiful life due to opioid poisoning, our foundation has made a difference. No parent should feel the loss of a child. This foundation is a legacy to our beautiful Xavier.

Madison Gerchow

Co-Founder

Like everyone, I've periodically been exposed to opioids throughout my life. But, I never could have imagined the true impact of the onslaught of pharmaceuticals until I lost my baby brother to them. In his honor, we will save lives.

Laura Penney

Chief Financial Officer (CFO)

Fentanyl poisoning and the Opioid Crisis isn't discriminatory to any race, geographic location or socioeconomic status. No one is above the effects of what it can do to a family, we know first hand after losing our Xavier. Raising awareness through XFoundation not only has the ability to save lives but we have the capability to enrich our community by giving back to athletic and music programs.

Arin Seidlitz

Chief Information Officer (CIO)

Deaths due to Fentanyl are sweeping through the nation and most seem desensitized to yet 'another' crisis. I watched as the rippled through an entire community all the way into my home. It ignited my passion for healthcare as I saw an opportunity to educate, spread awareness and start the conversations that bring attention to this epidemic. People deserve an accurate picture of what they are taking and the risks involved.
