The wife and brother of the late Brodie Lee announced Wednesday they have created the Jon Huber Legacy Foundation which will "focus on providing support to people in creative fields who have not taken the next step in their career because of family obligations."

The announcement comes as AEW is in Huber's hometown of Rochester, NY, Wednesday for Dynamite which will be dedicated to his memory.

Starting in 2022, the foundation "will select a group of creative individuals to support with resources, connections, practical skills, and direct funding. The cohort will meet throughout the year to learn from experts in areas including business planning, artist management, public relations, brand management, finances, and IP law. These skills and connections will help them provide for their families while also helping them pursue their dreams."
Huber, a member of the AEW roster, passed away last December 26th due to a lung issue at 41 years old.

The group expects to announce taking its first round of applications in the first part of 2022.

In the release, Amanda Huber said, “Jon almost gave up on his dream of wrestling because of his family. But he got the call to move up to WWE while we were in the hospital with our first child. I can’t think of a better way of honoring his commitment to family and his career than to help other people who are facing the same dilemma.”

From Huber's brother, Chris: “Many artists and wrestlers are never taught how to manage their finances, investments, and assets in a way to make sure their family is secure. Like our father, Jon always wanted to make sure he was making decisions that were the right decision not only for his career, but also for his family.”
