<div>On Feb. 4, 2023, the world suffered a tremendous loss when Pierre Lipton passed away unexpectedly after finishing a marathon. Pierre is a son, brother, partner, friend, colleague, and amazing human being.
</div>
<div><br />
</div>
<div>A philanthropic foundation is being established in Pierre's memory to support charitable organizations consistent with Pierre's passions. Donations are currently being accepted via this GoFundMe account. If you prefer to wait until the charitable foundation has been formally established please reach out via the contact button below and we will let you know when we can accept donations. Organizations will be vetted by a committee consisting of philanthropic experts, family, friends, and colleagues; causes include:
</div>
<div><br />
</div>
<ul>
<li>Food security
</li>
<li>Environmental protection and restoration
</li>
<li>Physical activity programs for the underprivileged
</li>
<li>Animal welfare
</li>
</ul>
<div><br />
</div>
<div>Pierre was a happy and beautiful child, an adventurer, and loved life. He loved soccer, tennis, Lego, learning, music, art, tennis, squash, waterskiing, trying new foods, hiking, trivia, reading, Scrabble, running, geography, FIFA, and traveling the world with his family.
</div>
<div><br />
</div>
<div>Pierre is brilliant. He attended Myers Park High School, where he was valedictorian. He excelled at Brown University, studying economics and Middle Eastern studies.
</div>
<div><br />
</div>
<div>Pierre is curious and strives for truth. He became COO of the news company 1440, where he helped grow the readership of subscribers who span the political spectrum and all walks of life. As a result of his hard work and success, he was named Rhode Island INNO under 25 in 2020, Forbes 30 Under 30 in 2022, and received many other awards along the way. He speaks Spanish, Arabic and has been learning Italian in anticipation of a planned trip in May.
</div>
<div><br />
</div>
<div>Pierre is a leader and pays it forward. In middle school, he helped the Randolph National Academic League team win the national title. In high school, he volunteered at an orphanage in Panama to teach English and math. He also captained the Myers Park WorldQuest Team and led them (and, on two occasions, his parents’ WorldQuest team!) to several victories. In college, he started VitaLives, a company aimed at reducing malnutrition and vitamin deficiency. As an organ donor, he also improved many lives.
</div>
<div><br />
</div>
<div>Pierre is an athlete. He cares about health and movement, always working on becoming stronger, and focused on improving the lives of others through sport. His goals of playing soccer or running at a semi-elite level for Tonga in the South Pacific are a big part of his life that he dreamed about but didn’t have the chance to realize, even though everyone who knows him knows he would have accomplished it.
</div>
<div><br />
</div>
<div>Pierre is, above all, deeply caring. He cares about people, knowledge, and being understanding and kind to everyone. He cares about his connections with others and creating a better world. Holidays like Christmas and Hanukkah were less about religion and more about being around family, eating special foods, and celebrating togetherness. He also gives to everyone he knows in his personal life, from helping his cousins and sister realize their full potential to advising his parents in their professional lives.
</div>
<div><br />
</div>
<div>Pierre is humble and loving. Since he was a small child, he has been a wise soul - calm, happy, humble, and full of love. He is tender with his parents, supportive and committed to his sister, and kind to all his family members, coworkers, and friends. Pierre is deeply in love with Eleanor, the love of his life, whom he met in college - the perfect couple. They built a beautiful life together, including adopting their beloved dog, Appa.
</div>
<div><br />
</div>
<div>Thank you to everyone who has reached out and supported Pierre's loved ones in their time of grief.
</div>
