Lindsey Brown founded the Tristan Project after her son Tristan was killed in July 2025. He had a passion for helping other kids," Brown said. The Tristan Project recently held its annual back-to-school drive, where families could pick up backpacks and fill them with the supplies they needed most. Yes, they could put their own supplies in there, but we did have a flyer in every single backpack and dedicated it to Tristan and his legacy," Brown said. This was Tristan's, and I'm just carrying out his legacy," Brown said.
