The Kendrick Fincher Memorial Foundation has provided thousands of educational pamphlets and free squeeze bottles to athletes and school children across the United States.

One of the first official activities of the Kendrick Fincher Foundation was to distribute 5,000 squeeze bottles and heat illness educational pamphlets through the Rogers Activity Center for spring soccer in 1996. Since then we have distributed over 160,000 bottles in 45 states and 3 countries. Our mission is greater than distributing squeeze bottles, but squeeze bottle distribution is a means to proper hydration and heat illness prevention, which is our mission.

Due to requests that are exceeding our funding capabilities, we are currently prioritizing our requests as follows:

Athletes: Thanks to the generosity of Gatorade we are able to supply 20,000 athletes nationally with a 32 oz. Gatorade squeeze bottle and educational “Beat the Heat” pamphlet each year. If you are a coach, team mother, band director, recreational coach, etc., please click here to complete the request form for your team.

Northwest Arkansas school children: Fundraising activities in NWA allow us to provide a limited number of free squeeze bottles and pamphlets for children in NWA. If you are a teacher, principal, or group leader for children in NWA and would like a 15 minute presentation on the importance of hydration for your students, a 20 oz. squeeze bottle and a “Beehydrated” pamphlet, please click here to complete the request form.

Non-athletes and organizations outside of NWA: We will accept requests and prioritize based on the above criteria and fill additional requests as we have funding available. Due to the large number of requests we may not be able to respond to your request by the date needed. Please note these squeeze bottles and pamphlets are not available to for-profit organizations* and may not be sold to another party or used in any fundraising efforts. If you are interested in our hydration education program and can provide or secure sponsorship for your request, we will be happy to work with you to fill that request. Please click here to complete the request form.

Thank you for your interest in our hydration education and heat illness prevention program. We feel very blessed to have educated thousands of children on proper hydration and heat illness prevention and we hope to continue to do so for many more years.

*Our educational materials are available to for-profit organizations for a donation that will cover costs of producing. Please contact us for details.
