The Walter & Edward Luedke Memorial Foundation, established in 1993 and incorporated in 1999, honors the legacies of Walter and Edward Luedke by transforming personal loss into community strength. Founded by John F. Luedke in memory of his brothers, our foundation channels their stories into action - addressing mental health awareness, medical support, and community wellness initiatives. WEL Foundation envisions a community where mental and physical wellness are accessible to all, where resilience is celebrated, and where every individual has the support they need to thrive. We create lasting impact through direct assistance to individuals, families, and community-wide initiatives.
