Empowerment for all.

Helping the next generation be the best through financial support and education.

Welcome to Be the Best Foundation, a tribute honoring the remarkable life and legacy of our beloved Mama, Regenia Moore Kent of Fayette, Mississippi.

Mama Kent’s mantra was simple yet profound: be the best. That mantra and her values of compassion, resilience, grace, and hope inspire us to strive for excellence every day.

Recognizing education’s power to break the cycle of poverty, we address the unique challenges faced by young individuals in historically marginalized communities, paving the way for a brighter future.

Our Mission

Our mission is to provide life-changing scholarships and educational opportunities to historically at-risk and underserved youth, fostering access to quality education and promoting academic and personal growth. 

We are committed to breaking down financial barriers, supporting the aspirations of deserving students, and helping them achieve their full potential. With a strong dedication to equity and inclusion, we aim to build a brighter future for individuals and communities.

In alignment with Mama Kent’s values of uplifting, inspiring, and empowering our neighbors, we aim to make enduring positive impacts on students, educators, and communities, fostering a brighter future for everyone involved.

Join us on this transformative journey as we empower futures through education and contribute to building stronger, more resilient communities.
