Kindness Champions: Voices From The Live Like Knox Foundation

As the year winds down and college students are heading home for the holidays, we wanted to check in with two of our 2025 scholarship recipients and hear how their first semester went — and how Knox’s legacy continues to show up in everyday moments on campuses across the country. You get to hear directly from two of our 2025 Kindness Carries On Scholarship recipients, in their own words: Liam Gunningham from Texas A&M University and Audra Shioya from Boston College.

This month, we’re proud to spotlight Brian Williams, founder of Think Kindness—a national movement that empowers students to create real, measurable waves of good in their schools and communities. Brian’s work echoes the heart of our mission at the Live Like Knox Foundation: to carry on kindness in ways that lift others, build connection, and create lasting impact.

Through her book, A Simple Seed of Growth, Gratitude & Giggles, Katie helps children start each day with positivity and purpose — lessons that align perfectly with Knox’s spirit of joy, inclusiveness, and kindness. Katie first learned about the Live Like Knox Foundation through Laine Santamaria, and later had the opportunity to speak at one of the Foundation’s events.
