Lee's Summit Educational Foundation, Inc.

Please donate & help us raise $15,000 for the Live Like Keaghan McDaniel Memorial Scholarship Fund. The community was very generous in donating to help cover the end of life expenses, which can be quite expensive. However, this scholarship fund is separate from those prior donations to Niki for expenses.

All donations to this scholarship fund will go far in continuing to honor Keaghan's memory. We need to raise a minimum of $11,000 to start the endowment that will fund the yearly awarded scholarship. Please donate any amount you can. 

 

This scholarship was established by family and friends to honor Keaghan’s life. A graduating senior from Lee's Summit West High School will be selected to receive this continuing education scholarship annually, starting in 2022. 

Keaghan, a 2021 graduate of Lee’s Summit West, tragically passed away in a fatal car accident on June 8, 2021. Keaghan had a passion for baseball, his family, friends, and most of all his mother, Niki. He will forever be remembered for his infectious smile, which brightened the day of everyone around him. His friendliness, positivity, and the way he lived each day to the fullest are all things most people can only hope to match. Before his passing, Keaghan had made plans to continue his baseball and academic pursuits at State Fair Community College. His faith was important to him, and he was guided by the scripture Philippians 4:13 "I can do all things through Christ who strengthens me." His family and friends know that Keaghan and his smile live eternally in heaven.

All donations go directly to the Live Like Keaghan McDaniel Memorial Scholarship Fund (being handled through the Lee's Summit Educational Foundation).
