ABOUT US
The Brianna Cooper Heavenly Smiles Foundation exists to provide financial, emotional, and spiritual support to parents and families who are grieving the loss of a loved one.
Established by Todd and Cindy Cooper in 2011 as a way to honor the memory of their then 11-year-old daughter, Brianna, who passed away after being involved in a tragic car crash.
Heavenly Smiles also lends a helping hand to families with children who are born with a cleft lip and/or palate like Brianna was.
To find out how we can alleviate your specific pain points, please reach out to us via the Contact page.
From Todd and Cindy Cooper:
In the wake of Brianna’s death, our family witnessed the glory of God’s power to unite and heal.
We also have experienced a profound gratitude for each other and those who so generously rallied to our side. The treatment we received in our hour of greatest need in many ways mirrored Brianna’s giving and gentle spirit.
It is our commitment to continue that aid to others who are hurting.
“Praise be to the God and Father of our Lord Jesus Christ, the Father of compassion and the God of all comfort, who comforts us in all our troubles, so that we can comfort those in any trouble with the comfort we ourselves receive from God.” 2 Corinthians 1:3-4 (NIV)
Regularly scheduled Heavenly Smiles events include:
- Celebration of life
- Fund raising golf tournament
- 10K/5K run and 2K family fun walk
Cindy Cooper
Cindy is a woman with a heart for people. Without her the foundation would not be what it is today. She understands what a family goes though during a loss and is there to talk or send them things that help with the process. She isn’t afraid to do whatever it takes for her family or other families I their time of need.
Brylie Cooper
Brylie is a hard worker with a strong attention to detail. She is all girl but does not mind getting her hands dirty. She has the love of all children just like Brianna. She is very creative and loves her family and friends.
Kayla Bryant
Kayla is Bryce’s girlfriend of almost five years and a board member of the foundation. She had a strong attention to detail and understands what we are trying to accomplish. She is important to all of us here at the Cooper Family. Not to mention we 100% know that Brianna would have no problem with her little brother sharing his life with her.
Todd Cooper
Todd is a father first and steps in to help the men after a loss.
He works hard both inside and outside of the foundation. He isn’t always at the front but you can count on him to be there to clean up with some of the less glamorous work.
Bryce Cooper
Bryce is our second child with a heart of gold. He works hard and is always there when you need him. He takes pride in what he does but never looks for the credit after the work is complete.
Brandon Cooper
Brandon is a kid who knows what he wants but doesn’t let you know, he just gets it done. He follows his passion and has a great sense of humor. He is tough both mentally and physically. He cares about his family and friends more than they know.
Brianna was a kid who cared for everyone, especially children. She would pass up the opportunity to hang out with her friends if a baby was near. She cared for her friends and wanted them to succeed in everything they did. If it was encouragement, she was there. If she could help, she was definitely there. Her smile could light up the room. She also loved food, bacon was her favorite!
