ABOUT

Brandon Eugene Church
Legacy Foundation

From the playground at Granite Falls Elementary to the South Caldwell Spartans football team, Brandon Church loved being a part of the Western North Carolina community. He believed it shaped him into the outstanding dad, brother, son, chef and songwriter that he was.

Brandon always wanted to give back to the community; to help provide opportunities and memories like he had growing up. Unfortunately, we lost “Big B” in 2018, but his desire to make a difference still endures to this day.

That’s why Brandon’s family established The Brandon Eugene Church Legacy Foundation. The 501(c)(3) organization works to honor Brandon’s memory – and to continue his dedication and devotion to the community – through philanthropic and charitable endeavors.
