Bryce Brown was just a boy when he came to the Center in 1967, seeking help, healing, and a way forward. Bryce often shared that his time in residential care at the Center shaped the man he would become. He credited the compassionate staff and the structure they provided as foundational to his future success, which came in the form of a thriving machine business, built through hard work and a strong sense of purpose—values he said were rooted in his time at the Center.
Upon his passing, Bryce left a significant planned gift to the Center in his estate. His legacy now lives on, not only in the lives he touched personally, but in the future he continues to shape through his generosity. Planned gifts like Bryce’s ensure the San Diego Center for Children can continue its mission for generations to come—providing stability, healing, and opportunity to youth in need.
