Kaylee Keumsoon Lee Scholarship Foundation
Kaylee Keumsoon Lee founded the Kaylee and Lee Family Foundation with a personal contribution of her assets to the foundation, in July of 2019. From its inception, the foundation’s mission was to provide scholarships to hard-working disadvantaged Korean students studying in America. Kaylee had a lifelong vision to give back to the Korean-American community by helping Korean students fulfill their dreams through higher education.
Kaylee believes that higher education is of utmost importance for students seeking social mobility. She hopes that this scholarship foundation can encourage future Korean students to fulfill their dreams without the barriers that come with financial scarcity.
Kaylee also created this foundation to generate breast cancer awareness and assist hospitals in need. She is particularly interested in breast cancer because breast cancer is one of the leading causes of death for women and a disease that many women suffer from. She believes that more support and awareness of breast cancer can help mitigate the risk of death from cancer and empower women to fulfill their dreams.
Breast Cancer Awareness
Kaylee Scholarship Foundation has an additional mission of generating breast cancer awareness and developing breast cancer research. Of all the cancers that afflict women, breast cancer is the most persistent and common form of cancer that is the leading cause of death for women. The Foundation aims to provide aid to hospitals in need of medical assistance through surgical training, breast reconstruction training, medical texts, and the most updated research on breast cancer.Â
