Vincent’s Legacy:
Our Mission
Our mission started with Vincent Puckett. Vincent was a young man whose life touched many. He was a son, a brother, a friend, and an inspiration. He stood up to bullies when he witnessed their actions causing harm, and for that, became a target himself.
In 2017, Vincent took his own life due to the severity of the bullying he experienced. The actions of other students and the complacency of school staff and parents of his abusers led his mother and father, Roxane and Cary, to start Vincent’s Legacy as a way to help educate others on the effects of bullying and prevent bullying-related suicide. With your help, we can make a difference.
R.E.P.
RECOGNIZE. Recognize the signs of bullying and indicators of suicidal thoughts and/or tendencies.
EDUCATE. Educate the community of effective methods of prevention and treatment.
PREVENT. Prevent bullying and suicide amongst our youth with community support and kindness.
Whatever it is, the way you tell your story online can make all the difference.
Roxane and Cary Cann created Vincent Puckett’s Kindness Legacy to honor their son, and ensure that parents and their children know the resources available when dealing with mental illness, as well as bullying. The hope is that Vincent will be immortal, and that no mother will feel the way Roxane did on that day.
