The Beauty for Barrett award is our way of honoring individuals who have shown extraordinary love, support, and dedication to the mission of Blessings for Barrett.
This year, we are proud to recognize Kyle and Kelly Dent, owners of Shamrocks Pub N Grill. Since 2020, they have been steadfast supporters of Blessings for Barrett, providing space for our cornhole tournaments, meals at our events, and endless encouragement. Their unwavering kindness and generosity have been instrumental in helping us reach grieving children and their families. We are incredibly grateful for their continued partnership and are thrilled to honor them with the Beauty for Barrett award.

At our recent event, we had the privilege of honoring Kelli Acord, who has been a constant source of strength and friendship, even when our world came crashing down. When tragedy struck, especially with the loss of a child, many parents find that people drift away—sometimes because the weight of grief is just too much. But Kelli was there for us time and time again, never uncertain in her support.
She has always believed deeply in the mission of Blessings for Barrett, not only for personal reasons but because she genuinely wants to stand with us and help so many grieving children. She grounded us in our hardest moments and took on a vital role within Blessings for Barrett. Quite simply, we couldn’t do this without her.
We were honored to present the Beauty for Barrett award to Kelli, our director and dearest friend. Her unwavering support means the world to us, and we are deeply grateful for everything she has done. Thank you, Kelli!

The very first Beauty for Barrett award was given to Alex Mooney who is the owner and operator of Captures for Clark, Alexandria Mooney Photography and Birth Stories by Alexandria Mooney Photography.This award was presented to Alex for making the world a more beautiful place. Alex has made such a difference in the lives of so many grieving families. No matter the time of day she rushes to help families who are going through the darkest of times. Alex would not want recognition for what she does but she surely deserves it. Alex knows how important memories are and how quickly those memories have to be made sometimes. She is an inspiration and her work is profound. In honor of her own son Clark who was born sleeping she has dedicated her time to helping other families. Alex knows firsthand just how important pictures are and loves providing lasting memories by documenting their birth stories. But sometimes that birth story doesn't include taking that baby home. They are stories that stop shortly after they start. After having her own son's birth story captured Alex knows that those stories need to be captured too. We presented Alex Mooney with the Beauty for Barrett award for her passion and love for the loss community.
