One year ago today, our lives forever changed, and our path veered far off the course we had dreamed.

We created the Greyson Zess Community Impact Foundation out of pain, love, and the need to keep the energy of a beautiful soul in the world. The foundation stands as a living tribute to Greyson's belief that everyone has the power to make a positive impact.

It feels only right to honor today by announcing our senior award scholarships. To apply, students had to meet three simple criteria: live to be kind, be respectful, and show up for those around them.

Congratulations to Evan Hanrahan, Tyler O’Leary, Riley Parsons, and Adam Schrieber. Each student amazed us with their application and their positive contributions to the lives of those around them. We proudly presented each of them with a $1,000 scholarship to use toward their future endeavors.

Be kind. Be respectful. Show up.

This has been the foundation’s message since the beginning. It is the message this mama shared daily with her kids when sending them into the world. In his own understated way, Greyson took these words to heart.

In August 2022, as I was putting away laundry, I saw this action list pinned above Greyson’s desk. I took a picture at the time in a moment of gratitude and relief that just maybe my words were resonating with my strong-willed 12-year-old.

Today would be Greyson’s 16th birthday. In his honor, I ask that you do something kind for someone today. Kindness can spread like wildfire; all it needs is a spark.

The 2025 Feeding Friends campaign has officially concluded!

This week, our elves diligently filled bags straight from Santa’s cupboards. The Santa Snack bags were distributed to 200 children in the East Troy Community School district in collaboration with the East Troy Family Resource Center’s annual Holiday Helper. While a two-week winter break is undoubtedly a wonderful time, it poses challenges for those who depend on school breakfast and lunch. With these bags, we aim to ensure that all bellies are filled and ready to embrace the spirit of a very Merry Christmas.

We extend our heartfelt gratitude to everyone who has supported the Greyson Zess Community Foundation so far. Your support has been nothing short of amazing, overwhelming, and deeply emotional.
