113 BRYANT KITE SCHOLARSHIP FOUNDATION IS BORN Chapter Twenty-two I can honestly say my son's graduating class is the most unified, intelligent, and warm and caring kids I have ever known. There were a large group of friends who pulled it all together and formed what we call today the Bryant Kite Scholarship Foundation. http://bryantkitememorialfund.com/. The mission of the Bryant Kite Memorial Foundation is to give strength and courage to those affected by a loss of a loved one; to keep his spirit strong and ever present; to educate teenagers on safety awareness; and to provide scholarship support to students who best exemplify the outstanding qualities exhibited by Bryant during his time on Earth. His close friends and family created the Bryant Kite Memorial Foundation. The inspiration for this endeavor evolved during nu- merous discussions by so many that loved Bryant. Discussions and reflection on the intent of this memorial founda- tion settled on a simple yet substantial goal: to honor the memory of a fallen friend by educating and lifting other individuals to the heights of his or her personal best. The promise of this memorial foundation is one of encouragement, education and financial sup- port. The scholarship recipient would be defined as an individual striving for harmony, academic distinction and athletic excellence.
