McKenzie Ryan Kearney Gray (Kenny) was born on May 22, 2018, at 28 weeks due to a placenta abruption. Despite around-the-clock, world-class care, Kenny peacefully passed away just 3 short days later.

Kait, Ryan, and Palmer Gray quickly sprung into action following Kenny’s passing to commemorate their daughter & sister by creating a nonprofit organization. During the first 3 years of McKenzie’s Moment, The Gray’s were able to raise over $835,000 for nonprofits that focus on the health and wellbeing of women & children in North Central Florida.

In 2020, The Gray’s created their own 501(c)(3) with aspirations of bringing love, support, and attention to several charities amongst the community that took such great care of them during their darkest days; Ocala, Florida!!

The Mission of McKenzie’s Moment is to offer hope and opportunity to women and children in need through health, education, and welfare initiatives within the city of Ocala, Florida and throughout North Central Florida.
