Briana was diagnosed with Neuroblastoma in 1995. As a pediatric cancer warrior, she faced unimaginable challenges with a spirit that never dimmed. Her laughter, her love, and her resilience touched everyone around her, leaving a legacy that could never be measured in years but in impact. 

 

Though her time on earth was brief, Briana’s presence was profound in the six years she was here. Briana gained her wings in 1996. While she was here on earth, she inspired hope in the face of hardship, joy in the midst of pain, and faith that soared beyond circumstance. Her life became the seed of a mission—one that now blooms through Souls of Butterflies, The Briana McBride Foundation.

 

This foundation is her legacy. Every scholarship awarded, every survivor uplifted, every act of service is a reflection of Briana’s enduring light.

 

We honor her not only in memory, but in movement—in the lives we touch, the dreams we support, and the wings we help others find.
