The Drew Wynne Foundation was established in August 2019, born from both loss and resolve. After Drew's tragic death from methylene chloride exposure in October 2017, the Wynne family channeled their grief into action, spending 15 months on Capitol Hill advocating for a ban on the manufacture, processing, and distribution of methylene chloride in all consumer paint removers.

Working alongside partners in academia, industry, and governmental and non-governmental agencies, they helped secure a bipartisan victory with the Environmental Protection Agency. With that fight behind them, the family turned their energy toward building something lasting in Drew's name.
