The Alan Hu Foundation was created by Xiaofang Chen and Chih-Ching Hu of Pleasanton in memory of their son, Alan, who died by suicide in 2018 at the age of 15. Their mission is to promote mental health, raise awareness and remove stigma surrounding psychiatric disorders, and to support research for cures.
