Grayson Murray Foundation

Spreading Kindness, One Golf Ball at a Time! ⛳💛 Over the 12 days of the Erie County Fair, Fairgoers of all ages stopped by the Kindness Clubhouse inside the Erie County Fairway to share what kindness means to them. From doodles to heartfelt messages, we collected countless golf balls filled with positivity—each one a reminder of the good we can do in our community. A huge thank you to everyone who played, shared, and helped us drive kindness forward—and to the Grayson Murray Foundation (@GM_FDN) for making this special experience possible. Every ball, every bracelet, every smile made this Fairway one to remember. 💛 This also wouldn't have happened with out the help of our sponsors, so another thank you to @GoodHealthSauna, @MillansMc and Trautman Associates.

Family, friends, and fellow golfers gathered today to pay tribute to Grayson Murray at the @UNCHealthChamp. Murray’s life was highlighted with speeches about his legacy and advocacy for mental health awareness. Thanks to the @GM_FDN, his wishes in helping others will continue.

💚 This Saturday at the Charles Schwab Challenge, we’re going GREEN to support Mental Health Awareness and honor Grayson Murray. Wear green and join us in standing with the @PGATOUR + Grayson Murray Foundation for a cause that matters. Let’s show up united. 💚

🚨Hi everyone, I was sent a very touching email this morning from The Grayson Murray Foundation & posted it on my golf channel so thought I’d share it with you all . My thoughts & prayers go out to all of Grayson’s nearest & dearest as we approach one year on since Grayson Murray’s sad passing on the 25th May last year 😢 🙏 Please take a minute & have a look at this special Foundation set up in Grayson’s memory & give them a follow here on X @GM_FDN & help spread the message ⬇️ ✊⛳️ graysonmurrayfoundation.com Good morning everyone, I was just sent this from the Grayson Murray Foundation & had a tear in my eye & thought I’d share it with you all 😢 With Heartfelt Thanks As we are approaching one year since the heartbreaking loss of our son Grayson – who sadly took his own life – our hearts are filled with both sorrow and gratitude.  This past year has been the most challenging chapter of our lives, but the unwavering love and support from so many of you have helped carry us through. To each and every person who reached out, shared a memory, or simply held us in your thoughts and prayers – thank you.  Your kindness has lifted us through and reminded us that we are not alone.  As a professional golfer, Grayson traveled quite a bit.  He had a home in Florida, but his family home in North Carolina was always his safe haven, a place where he could let his guard down.  However, we did not understand why he sometimes isolated himself, preferring a dark room instead of being out on the golf course practicing, or going to the gym, or just spending time with family and friends. Only after his passing did we come to truly understand the grip that depression had on him. On his darkest days, he simply couldn’t bring himself to do the things he loved. That is why we are trying so hard to spread understanding of this terrible disease and hopefully find a way to help others not have to experience some of the same emotions that consumed us. Losing Grayson shattered our world, and yet, in the midst of our grief, we found a purpose—one that Grayson himself had envisioned long before we ever imagined life without him. It was Grayson’s wish to start a Foundation to “help the ones that want to be helped but [who] might not have the help they need financially.” That’s when the Grayson Murray Foundation was born.  Initially, it gave us a way to keep busy, to manage the heartache.  But over time, it became our purpose—a way to honor Grayson’s legacy and extend kindness to others.  When someone tells us, “Your story gave me the courage to ask for help,” it brings a glimmer of healing.  It doesn’t take away the pain, but it reminds us that Grayson’s life—and even his death —can still have meaning. The mission of the Grayson Murray Foundation is to raise awareness of mental health and addiction challenges faced by individuals from all walks of life, while advancing innovative services and research.  The Foundation aims to create a noticeable impact on mental health and addiction care by supporting innovative research; expanding access to essential services; and fostering a culture of understanding inspired by Grayson’s legacy of compassion, resilience, and hope.  To all who have supported this mission, who have walked alongside us in our grief, and who have helped carry Grayson’s light forward –we are deeply grateful.  From the bottom of our hearts, we thank you for standing with us by honoring Grayson’s life and helping ensure his spirit lives on through the work of the Foundation.  To learn more about the Foundation or Grayson’s story, please visit our website at graysonmurrayfoundation.com.  With deepest appreciation, Eric and Terry Murray
