Annual Leadership Academy Friends & Family Fundraiser

Header image for Annual Leadership Academy Friends & Family Fundraiser

 

As students of the 100 Black Men of DeKalb's Leadership Academy, we are excited to announce the launch of our Annual Friends & Family Donation Drive.

 

This fundraiser is crucial in assisting our academy with essential expenses that cannot be covered by corporate donations, such as Leadership Academy branded apparel and administrative costs.

 

Our target is to raise $1,000 per student, and we want to emphasize that every contribution, regardless of its size, is incredibly valuable.

 

Your continued support means the world to us, and we eagerly anticipate an outstanding year ahead with your generous backing. Thank you once again for your unwavering support!
