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 three short days later.

After Kenny’s passing, Kait, Ryan, and Palmer Gray quickly sprung into action to commemorate their daughter & sister by creating a nonprofit organization. During the first four years of McKenzie’s Moment, The Grays raised over $2,535,000 for nonprofits that focus on the health and well-being and safety of women & children in North Central Florida.

In 2020, The Grays created their own 501(c)(3) to bring love, support, and attention to several charities in 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.
