“Reece taught me how to love big and spread sunshine to all I meet. Jesus radiated through her and her love towards all she encountered. The impact of her life will continue to surpass her short time on Earth.”
“Reece and I, were good friends, who grew up together, and cheered together, and she impacted my life because every time I do something hard, I do it for Reece every time I see a picture of us smile because those were really good memories.”
“Reece was one of the most competitive yet kindest people I knew. I love that I had the opportunity to grow up along someone who pushed me like she did! Thinking of her always reminds me to have a smile on my face and shine on others like she did to me and many others.”
“Reece was such a sweet girl who spilled out her love to everyone she knew. Reece was always there when I needed someone, she never failed to make me laugh, and was always putting a smile on my face. Reece was a loving, passionate, and selfless person. She was the friend everyone needed. She truly made life 10x better, and being around her was a blessing. From church events, to making silly videos in her room, we shared so many special memories that I’ll cherish forever! Her love for Jesus inspired me to grow my relationship with the Lord, which led to me getting baptized. I’ll always remember my baptism, not only because it’s a big deal, but because I got to experience it with Reece. Reece made life enjoyable, and I am forever grateful for the memories we have together!”
“Reece impacted my life through her infectious smile. Every time I would see her at the gym she was always smiling”
“Reece impacted my life by bringing so much joy and I could always see God through her contagious smile and laughter!”
Scholarship Testimonies

Receiving the XOXO Reece scholarship was a dream come true. Not only was practice provided for me, but also the joy of knowing I was out supporting the warrior trained club along side with many other amazing wrestlers. I am beyond grateful for the opportunity you’ve given us and I pray she is watching down and not only seeing the amazing wrestlers but also watching her brother accomplish amazing things during his season. I’ve gotten to meet some of the best coaches and kind and determined teammates and learn so much from them. Thank you this scholarship has truly been a blessing.

Getting the XOXO Reece scholarship was a big deal for me, and my whole team. It was the first time anyone on my team ever had the chance to compete outside of folk style, including me. My first year doing freestyle I made it onto Team Texas. With the help of them, I also was able to afford to travel and compete at Fargo and Duals. It helped advance my wrestling so much my senior year and was one of the deciding factors in me continuing wrestling into college. The XOXO Reece scholarship and the Shepard family have changed the game for me in so many ways. I’m forever grateful!

I was honored to receive a scholarship from the Reece Foundation. This money helped pay for gymnastics tuition and fees. Earning this scholarship helped me continue my passion for gymnastics and getting closer to continuing at the college level. Not only did this help support financially, but I was also thrilled to honor Reece and her love for gymnastics. I’m so thankful to have been a recipient of The Reece Foundation scholarship.
