The Live Like Lexi Foundation fosters kindness, determination and opportunity for young women in volleyball — empowering the next generation of female athletes to chase their dreams without limits.
Who we honor
Lexi Schultz, 2001–2015
Lexi was a bright light in the lives of everyone she met — a go-getter, a lover of volleyball, and an unfailingly positive force who had a way of making everyone feel special, especially those who didn’t have many friends.
Her sudden passing from a staph infection that turned septic shocked her community. This foundation exists so her kindness keeps showing up in gyms, classrooms and lives she never got to reach herself.
