Created following the death of Kearney High School senior Todd Becker, the Foundation is a Christian ministry that travels throughout the Midwest and puts on an assembly presentation for high school students. Since its inception in 2005, they have visited over 350 public high schools across an 11 state region with their message that challenges students to consider where their life is headed, both today and for eternity.
