Turning grief
into legacy.
The 947 Legacy Foundation was established in honor of the late Robert King Sr. to help individuals and families heal, grow, and build lasting legacy through the pillars of Faith, Family, Finances, Fitness, and Fun.
From loss, a legacy.
The loss of a loved one leaves emotional, spiritual, mental, and financial weight behind. The 947 Legacy Foundation exists to walk with those carrying that weight, offering encouragement, mentorship, community, and resources for the road forward.
We honor the life, wisdom, and leadership of Robert King Sr. by extending the values he lived: faith, family, integrity, and generosity. His legacy is the foundation we build upon, and the legacy we help others build for themselves.

The Legacy Walk
Each year, we gather as a community to walk in remembrance of those we have lost. The Legacy Walk is more than a path. It is a shared journey of healing, honoring the memory of loved ones while finding strength in the presence of others who understand.
Walk with us. Light a candle. Share a story. Know that you do not walk alone.
Walk Together
Join families, friends, and community members united in remembrance and hope.
Honor Loved Ones
Carry a name, a photo, or a memory. Every step is a tribute to a life that mattered.
Find Community
Connect with others who understand loss. Build bonds that extend far beyond the walk.
Light the Way
Close the evening with a candlelight ceremony, illuminating the path forward together.
Lives changed. Hope restored.
“After my father passed, I didn't know how to keep moving. 947 gave me a community that believed I still could.”
