Adrian Weger Gilmore spent her life showing up for others.
Whether she was teaching in the classroom, coaching from the sideline, supporting her family, or simply being there for someone who needed a helping hand, Adrian made a difference in the lives of others.
The Adrian Weger Gilmore Foundation was created to continue that legacy and make sure her heart keeps showing up for others.
Our work is built on three pillars that reflect who Adrian was: a teacher, a coach, and the heart of her family. Teach. Coach. Care.
Education and awareness can save lives.
We are committed to raising awareness about brain aneurysms and diabetes, two illnesses that have become deeply connected to our family’s story. By sharing information, supporting education, and bringing our community together, we hope to help more families recognize the warning signs, understand the risks, and know where to turn for help.
Adrian spent nearly twenty years in the classroom. In her honor, we also support students pursuing careers in healthcare and recognize the teachers who shape young lives.
Adrian believed strongly in young people and their ability to accomplish great things when given the right support and opportunities.
Through scholarships, grants, and our Athletes Fund, we support student-athletes and recognize the coaches who help shape their lives. Our goal is to help young people reach their potential and, one day, lift others up the way Adrian lifted so many.
We support Long Island families facing medical emergencies, sudden loss, and unexpected hardship.
Our goal is to provide meaningful assistance when families need it most. More importantly, we want families to know they are not alone during some of life’s most difficult moments.
Every family we help, every scholarship we award, every student we support, and every person we educate allows Adrian’s legacy to continue.
It is another way for Adrian to keep showing up for others, just as she did throughout her life.
Our vision is to create a lasting ripple of compassion across Long Island — a community where families facing their most difficult moments know they are not alone.
We envision a future where every young person has the opportunity to grow, lead, succeed, and make a difference in the lives of others, just as Adrian did.
Through kindness, service, education, and opportunity, we will carry Adrian’s legacy forward and ensure her impact lives on for generations to come.
