Built Different

Honoring Duke's legacy by empowering kids to lead with kindness and play with heart

Why We Do Like Duke

The Do Like Duke Foundation was created by Ryan and Monica Ommert to carry forward the values Duke lived every single day. We focus on identifying "quiet leaders," removing financial barriers to youth sports, and advocating for safer streets so every child has a safe place to play and roam.

The Boy Who Started it All

From the moment he stepped onto a field or into the classroom, Duke brought energy and leadership. He cheered for the Chiefs and Huskers, but he was also a brilliant creator - spending hours in the school's Makers Mart and filming for his YouTube channel. Whether he was fishing or inventing, Duke created his own joy and shared it freely.

How 

The Do Like Duke Foundation is a restricted fund of the ShareWaves Foundation, a registered 501(c)(3) public charity. All contributions are tax-deductible and are held solely for the development and impact work of the Do Like Duke Foundation. The Ommert family directs all uses of these funds.
