Our Mission: 

The Kenney Beard Memorial Fund exists to honor the life and legacy of Kenney Beard Sr. by transforming loss into hope. Through education, community engagement, and fundraising initiatives such as the Kenney Beard Memorial Car Show, we are committed to raising awareness about suicide prevention, reducing the stigma surrounding mental health, and supporting those affected by suicide. Every dollar raised is donated to the Tarrant County L.O.S.S. team, helping expand access to life-saving mental health education, advocacy, and support services throughout our community. Together, we believe that every conversation matters, every life has value, and every act of compassion has the power to save a life. 

 

Our Vision:

We envision a community where mental health is embraced with the same compassion and urgency as physical health; where conversations about suicide are met with understanding instead of stigma; where every person has access to the support and resources they need before reaching a crisis; and where the legacy of Kenney Beard Sr. continues to inspire hope, healing, and lives saved for generations to come.

​

Our Core Values:

Hope: We believe that hope can be restored through connection, education, and access to support. We strive to remind every person that they are never alone.

 

Community: We bring people together through service, education, and shared experiences, building a stronger community that supports mental wellness and one another. We believe meaningful change happens through partnership. We work alongside individuals, families, businesses, volunteers, and community organizations to expand awareness, strengthen resources, and save lives.

 

Awareness: We are committed to increasing public understanding of mental health and suicide prevention by encouraging honest conversations that reduce stigma and inspire action.

 

Service: We honor Kenney Beard Sr.’s memory by giving back. Through the Kenney Beard Memorial Car Show, we dedicate our efforts to supporting the Tarrant County L.O.S.S. Team and strengthening the resources available to our community.

 

Integrity: We steward every donation with transparency, accountability, and responsibility. We are committed to ensuring that every dollar entrusted to us advances our mission and serves our community.
