FIRST ANNUAL SCHOLARSHIP RECEPTION

On February 19, 2020, the WBR Empowerment Legacy Foundation, Inc. was launched, and the first Annual Scholarship Reception was established.
What better way to spend February 19th, the day Walter B. Ridley received his angels, then supporting what he was most passionate about.
We felt his spirit as we celebrated in the Walter Ridley fashion by awarding scholarships to three incredible young men reentering the community from incarceration.
We were all amazed and moved to tears as they told their stories and voiced their determination to become productive, integral, and contributing members of society.

We were more than ever convinced of our role and responsibility to support, empower, and encourage their efforts to establish lives void of future criminal justice involvement.

Look how much you helped!

Because of your invested partnership and donations, we were able to provide $2,000.00 to each awardee towards educational endeavors and an additional $500.00 during this COVID-19 pandemic.
This aligns with the goal of completing school and gaining meaningful and self-sustaining employment while working towards becoming a better version of themselves.
These young men are certainly on the path to long term success and we could not be more proud of them.
Our goal is to continue the Legacy of Walter B. Ridley by supporting, empowering and uplifting formally justice involved young men and women who truly desire to change the course of their lives.

We believe in second chances and we are glad that you do too!

Everybody's got a past. The past does not equal the future unless you live there.
