Annual Leadership Academy Friends & Family Fundraiser

Matthew W.
Hello Everyone,
My name is Matthew Watlington, and I’m honored to be a part of the 100 Black Men of DeKalb Annual Fundraiser! This organization has been an incredible source of support, guidance, and inspiration for young people like me. Their dedication to mentorship, education, and community empowerment truly makes a difference in shaping future leaders.
Right now, I’m reaching out for donations to help me reach my goal of raising $1,000 to fund programs and travel opportunities for this semester. Every donation, no matter how big or small, will make a meaningful impact in supporting these initiatives and ensuring that we continue to have access to valuable experiences and resources.
Through scholarships, career development programs, and life-changing mentorship, 100 Black Men of DeKalb continues to uplift and equip youth with the tools needed to succeed. I am proud to support their mission and play a role in giving back to an organization that has done so much for our community.
Thank you for joining me on this journey—your support means the world, and together, we can continue to make a positive impact!

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!
