Thank you to everyone that attended the celebration on Friday, Dec 28th and those who sent their positive energy; we felt it. We are so grateful.
Judge Gary Ransom is funny, wise and inspiring. He is a great storyteller as well. Many lives have been touched by him. We thank the judge for being our keynote speaker and encouraging our young kings not to listen to what others say but instead letting them know to stay out of prison and, “You can be anything you want!”
Book Donation FROM SABSW
The boys received some great books compliments of Sacramento Association of Black Social Workers. Thank you so much. The boys really appreciate it. The books will definitely broaden their minds.
We had one king very excited about reading so much that he grabbed a book to read.
Food Sponsors & Helpers
The food sponsors were generous and the village consistently shows up to fill in the gaps. Thank you Cora Lorraines and Vegan Van 916 for the delicious food. Thank you Kayla, Destinee, Ayisha, Niqi and all that helped serve the food.
