Who We Are

The Caden Tellier Foundation was created to honor
the life and legacy of Caden Tellier.

Our Story

The Caden Tellier Foundation was created to honor the life and legacy of Caden Tellier. Caden was more than a talented athlete. He was known for his kindness, generosity, and deep faith. He loved football, baseball, and competition—but more than anything, he loved people and wanted to see others succeed.

After Caden’s life ended far too soon following a football injury, the phrase “Live Like Caden” became a rallying cry throughout his community—encouraging people to live with faith, integrity, and compassion for others. The foundation continues that mission by creating opportunities for young athletes to grow as competitors, teammates, and leaders.
