ASHLEIGH'S LEGACY FOUNDATIONEST. 2026

Carry Her Legacy Forward

ASHLEIGH BLUMER KOHLITZ1986 — 2021

Legacy is not something we preserve by standing still. It is something we carry forward through the people we help.

A life lived fully- never taking the next day for granted. Live life to the fullest and treat each day like it could be your last

WHY WE EXIST

Because every life has the power to leave a lasting legacy.

Ashleigh showed us that life is precious, kindness matters, and every day is a gift. We exist to honor her legacy by inspiring others to live with purpose, embrace every opportunity, and make a difference in the lives of those around them.

After all, we have one life to live—live it to the fullest.

"Ashleigh was more than my sister—she was one of my greatest gifts. She taught me the importance of kindness, resilience, and finding joy in every moment. Her life continues to inspire me to be a better person, love deeper, and make the most of the one life we have."

— ROBERT, ON ASHLEIGH

THE MISSION

One Life. Three Ways Forward.

One life, expressed through three forms of support — each rooted in who she was and what she valued.

Brain Cancer Research & Support

Ashleigh's fight with brain cancer gives the foundation its urgency: to support research, awareness, resources, and comfort for families facing unimaginable battles.

→ You help families feel less alone and push research that brings real hope.

Youth Athletic Development

Her life in sport — a Division 1 soccer player at the University of Richmond — gives the foundation its competitive spirit: opportunity, mentorship, teamwork, and growth for young athletes.

→ You open doors for kids to compete, lead, and thrive the way she did.

Community & Local Charity

Ashleigh cared for the people around her. The foundation carries that care into local support for families, charities, schools, and community programs.

→ You strengthen the places and people closest to home.

THE KICKASH SPIRIT

KickAsh

KickAsh began as more than a phrase. It became a way for Ashleigh's community to rally around her with courage, humor, strength, and love.

Used thoughtfully, it can continue to unite people around the foundation's work — not as a slogan detached from her story, but as a reminder of the spirit she lived with.

When people carry that spirit forward, Ashleigh's legacy keeps moving.

HOW SUPPORT HELPS

Your support carries her legacy forward.

Many people wonder whether their support will truly make a difference or reach the people who need it most. Your support turns Ashleigh's story into real action today — right now.

  1. Funding research and providing comfort for families facing brain cancer

  2. Creating scholarships and access to sports for young athletes

  3. Delivering direct help to local families, schools, and community partners

CARE & ACCOUNTABILITY

The first to carry her legacy.
