Goal
Knox Dydalewicz would have turned 15 on September 11.
He lived twelve years, and he spent them making sure nobody sat alone. That's what he was known for. That's what everyone says first.
So this month we're asking for $15, one dollar for every year. Every $15 lights a candle on his cake. We need 3,333 candles to reach $50,000 by September 30.
Kindness adds up
An Atlanta middle school proved it. Teachers started every class with one small question — favorite pizza topping, what makes you happy — thirty seconds, before a single textbook opened.
Two years later: discipline referrals down about 50%. Attendance up. More kids choosing conversation over conflict.
Small things, done constantly, by everybody. Knox figured that out at twelve.
Where your $15 goes
The Live Like Knox Foundation gives $10,000 college scholarships to graduating seniors — nominated by their own teachers and coaches, not for the highest GPA, but for being the kid whose presence changes the room.
Since 2024: more than $500,000 to over 50 students.
Our goal for the Class of 2027: $300,000. $50,000 this month funds five of them.
Add yours
$15 lights one candle. $150 lights ten. Any amount adds up, and every single one gets counted.

My heart goes out to your family Kevin and Kimberly, as you continue to carry the loss of your precious son, Knox. There are truly no words that can take away the pain of losing someone you love so deeply, but I hope you know that his life continues to make a difference. The love behind the Live Like Knox Foundation and the kindness being extended to others in his memory are such a meaningful tribute to him. Psalm 34:18 🌺
