The Aidan Shea Foundation was formed the year after Aidan passed away. A wise friend of Aidan's mom mentioned the idea of a Foundation to her on a cold and snowy day in January of 2016. While she wasn't ready to consider it seriously at that point, the idea remained in the back of her brain as a way to honor Aidan's memory and create a legacy which could live on in his name. Over $30,000 was raised in Aidan's honor to support Lurie Children's Hospital in the two weeks after Aidan passed away. This spontaneous generosity from the Elmhurst and Shea/Robbins family communities made the Foundation seem like something that just might work. But it felt too overwhelming to tackle it in those first few months.
