ABOUT The Karli Short Better Tomorrow Foundation
Karli Short, 26, and her unborn child were killed last September. Unfortunately, this senseless tragedy is not rare. 45,000+ Americans die from gun-related injuries annually and their loved ones suffer significant trauma. Our mission is to provide financial support for college students dealing with this tragedy.
"Karli's legacy won't be defined by the wrong that was done to her, but by the kindness and compassion that radiated from her," said Short. "We are honoring Karli's magnificent spirit by lifting up those who are struggling."
