It is with profound sadness that the Torchbearers Foundation announces the passing of Michael W. Asque, a past president and the visionary who gave our organization its name.
Michael’s leadership, service, and belief in our mission helped shape the identity and direction of the Torchbearers Foundation. His legacy remains woven into the work we continue to do and the lives we are privileged to touch.
