The Toby Wells Foundation was formed in January 2001 as a means to make a meaningful difference in honor of Toby Wells. Wells 28, a third generation San Diegan and avid animal advocate, passed away in May 2000. Wells’ family and closest friends came together to develop the Toby Wells Foundation.
Today, the Toby Wells Foundation is focused on building a brighter future for youth, persons with disabilities and animals by providing both financial and volunteer assistance to other non-profit organizations. The Toby Wells Foundation has helped in obtaining contributions exceeding $5 million to worthy organizations to date.
