Youth Empowerment

Karen Bierly Disadvantaged Youth Foundation
“Education and care for youth is my top priority. They are the future and I want them to have all the resources they can have.”
The Karen Bierly Disadvantaged Youth Foundation was born from a son’s love and a mother’s legacy. Founded by Bryan Bierly in honor of his late mother, the foundation helps young people thrive through sports, education, and new experiences. What began as a small effort to buy equipment for kids in Maryland has grown into a mission to help disadvantaged youth and families succeed in life.
