The Karen Bierly Youth Foundation was started by Bryan Bierly after his mother passed of cancer when he was only 21 years old. She taught him young to give back whenever possible and how important sports was to his and others future. She and his father john always made sure him , his 2 brothers and any other kids on their teams had transportation and the equipment needed to play the sport of their choice. Bryan saw how successful his friends became in life from just the small gestures his parents did for the other kids on his teams that he knew he had to keep it going in her name. KBF started out buying sporting equipment and paying registration fees for the disadvantaged youth in and around Maryland and then expanded into providing disadvantaged youth and families the opportunity to succeed at life through sports, education and exposure to new environments. Examples are sporting, holiday and educational events
