Honouring Zoe’s young life cut short, our mission is to better understand severe asthma, especially in children and teenagers, investigating better treatment options, prevention strategies and an eventual cure.
1 in 9 Australians have asthma, one of the highest rates in the world.
The Zoe Kennedy Foundation was established by Figurehead in 2020.
In June 2020, Zoe suffered an acute asthma attack and was rushed to hospital where she was immediately placed on life-support. Four days later, the Kennedy family was devastated to learn that Zoe would not recover.
In partnership with Asthma Australia, Figurehead established the Zoe Kennedy Foundation.
Through grants and PhD Scholarships, the foundation helps fund progressive research into asthma prevention, management and eradication, with a specific focus on the increased risk for teenagers—and in doing so, honours a young life cut short.

“The foundation’s purpose is to fund ongoing research into critical preventative measures, honouring our own bright life cut short; with a specific focus on awareness around the increased risk of asthma for teenagers.”
