    The 2027 Kendall Bayne Foundation Scholarship

    Application Deadline - March 26, 2027
  • Kendall was a Cave Spring High School graduate who was beloved by the community. “Fight Like a Knight” was a slogan seen across the valley with students and adults cheering her on as she fought her battle with cancer. The support she received was a testament to her personality and character. It was nothing short of impressive and inspiring to watch her face adversity with determination, grace, courage, humility, and a sense of humor. She was always positive; her smile lit up a room and left an indelible mark on those who knew her both well and casually.

    The Kendall Bayne Foundation is dedicated to honoring the life of this remarkable young woman, and to encourage others to “Live a Kendall Life”- one that has kindness and compassion for others, exudes grace and courage, and projects a positive attitude in spite of adversity.
