THE STORY BEHIND THE NAME

The Clayton Mark Foundation is a nonprofit created to honor the life and legacy of Clayton Mark Randall, a young man full of promise, determination, and a passion for building his future through the skilled trades. Just one week after graduating high school, Clayton tragically passed away before he could begin that journey.

In his memory, the foundation exists to support other young people pursuing careers in the trades - providing scholarships, mentorship, and career opportunities to help them build meaningful, successful futures.

The Clayton Mark Foundation is dedicated to closing the skilled trades gap by investing in young people ready to build, fix, and create - supporting not just education, but long-term career success.
