Chance Perdomo’s family is keeping his legacy alive.

The Boys actor died in a motorcycle accident in March at 27 years old, and now his mother, Monica, is speaking out for the first time to announce a foundation in his honor.

In a lengthy post on Chance’s Instagram page, Monica shared the news with his followers.

“Dear Friends and Fans,” the caption began. “It is with a heaviest of hearts that I write to you following the passing of my beloved son, the love of my life, Chance Perdomo. Your love and support during this incredibly difficult time will be [a] source of immense comfort to our family.”

“Chance was not only a talented actor but also a kind, compassionate and beautiful soul who touched the lives of so many," she continued. "I have kept quiet as you can imagine, to take time to process all of this which has been incredibly difficult and daunting.”

Monica went on to explain her commitment to sharing Chance’s life and “keeping his legacy and memory alive.” She then announced the foundation, noting that she created a “Remembering Chance” merch line that will contribute to the cause.

“In honour of Chance’s passion and the causes he cared so deeply about, we are in the process of establishing the Chance Perdomo Foundation,” she said. “This foundation will support the initiatives that Chance was passionate about, ensuring that his spirit and values continue to make a positive impact on the world.”

She concluded, “Thank you once again for your unwavering love and support. Your kindness and compassion have been a beacon of light in our darkest moments. With heartfelt gratitude, Monica.”
