The Live Like MB Foundation was created to honor the enduring legacy of Mary Barrett and the extraordinary qualities that defined her life—joy, courage, and deep empathy for others. Mary had a rare ability to bring people together, make everyone feel seen, and lead with kindness in all she did.
Guided by her bright and inclusive spirit, the Foundation is dedicated to creating meaningful impact by supporting youth-focused programs that allow kids to grow, explore, and thrive, while also advancing animal welfare initiatives that reflect Mary’s compassion for all living beings. Through these efforts, we strive to carry her light forward—fostering hope, inspiring generosity, and creating positive, lasting change within our communities.

Help us celebrate Mary Barrett's first heavenly birthday by ensuring her legacy and light stay alive.
A radiant light,
remembered in joy
Mary Barrett lived life with enthusiasm, curiosity, compassion, confidence and the purest joy. There was a magnetic energy about her that drew people in; she was a natural leader, someone others instinctively wanted to be near. She showed love, inclusivity and kindness to everyone she met. Mary Barrett was a child who lived life to the fullest — she wanted to participate in every activity, and attend any and all events — time held no bounds.
Carrying her spirit forward, together
As we continue this journey, we’ve partnered with Austin Community Foundation and others to keep Mary’s spirit alive by supporting kids in need. Join us as we grow into something Mary would truly love.
