Founder
Tommy Bruner
Tommy Bruner started the "Be Different Foundation" back when he was in 10th grade, driven by a simple yet powerful idea: encouraging everyone not to follow the crowd but to stand out and be different. This foundation isn't just about building parks, though Tommy loves the idea of creating spaces where families and friends can gather and enjoy being outdoors, just like he did as a kid. It's also about making sure families have enough to eat and teaching young people important life skills.
Tommy's motivation grew when he saw how much his brother learned and grew from going to preschool. He realized the immense value of education and how it can change lives. Because of this, he wants to ensure that every child has the chance to attend excellent schools, just like he and his brother did. Tommy's work is about giving back and making sure that kids have the opportunities they need to learn, grow, and, most importantly, be different in their own unique ways.
