Where We Are Now

Active Community Service

Forever Impactful supports individuals, families, and local causes through outreach, charitable events, partnerships, and community recognition. By creating structured educational scholarships and financing recreation programs, we turn remembrance into concrete impact.

How We Got Started

Our Story

Forever Impactful was inspired by my grandfather, Irvin Evans — known as 'The Man, The Myth, The Legend' — who volunteered with United Way of Berks County for over 30 years. After losing my high school teammate Josh Brown at age 17, the mission became even more personal. His memory is honored through the Josh Brown & Jordan Jermacans Scholarship. The name Forever Impactful reflects a core belief: "Wealth is not measured by your bank account, but by the impact you make on others."

30+ Years of Selfless Volunteerism

Grandfather of the founder, Irvin Evans devoted over three decades to volunteering and helping others through the United Way. He was known affectionately in his community as "The Man, The Myth, The Legend." His values form the bedrock of Forever Impactful.

The Teammate & Friend

A close teammate whose legacy lives on. His passing left a profound impact on his friends and community. To ensure his memory is honored forever, we co-founded the Josh Brown Memorial Tournament and scholarship fund to support youth achievements.
