Maggie's Kindness Foundation’s mission is to promote kindness of young athletes through sportsmanship and development of student athletes through scholarship and to help and support the emotional needs of children and their families in medical crisis. It was created in honor of Maggie Bowles, a 6-year-old Trussville girl who died as a result of a car accident in 2017.
