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.”
