23 Legacy Foundation honors the life and legacy of Junior Kersey by creating opportunities, extending compassion, and strengthening Kentucky communities. Through the Junior Kersey Memorial Scholarship, charitable assistance, community partnerships, and grantmaking, the Foundation supports students, individuals, and families working toward a brighter future.

The number 23 holds special meaning—it was the founder’s basketball number and represents the journey, discipline, perseverance, and community spirit that led to her induction into the 13th Region Girls Basketball Hall of Fame. Those same values now guide the Foundation’s commitment to helping others overcome challenges and pursue their goals.

Powered by family support, public donations, fundraising events, and volunteers, 23 Legacy Foundation transforms a meaningful personal legacy into lasting hope and opportunity for others.
