Founder and President
Simone McCoy is the founder of Camp Grayson, a nonprofit dedicated to supporting grieving families with compassion, connection, and care. After experiencing the heartbreaking loss of her baby boy, Grayson, Simone felt called to create a safe space where families could honor their loved ones while finding hope and healing together. Drawing on her background as an educator, entrepreneur, and advocate, she built Camp Grayson to provide resources, community, and intentional programming for families navigating grief. Simone’s mission is to remind families that even in loss, they are not alone—and that healing happens one step, one story, and one moment at a time.
