“Preparing the Vision.”

Long before the crowd arrives…
before the gates open…
before the race begins…

someone is preparing the stable.

This image honors the staff, volunteers, leadership team, and community builders who help carry the vision of FABRIC forward every single day.

The trainer represents:
* strategy
* stewardship
* discipline
* sacrifice
* leadership behind the scenes

At FABRIC, the work does not begin when the spotlight turns on.
The work begins in the preparation.

In every great race, there are those who stand behind the vision before the crowd ever sees the finish line.

At dHERby 2026, our Stable Sponsors serve as more than supporters. They are the Guardians of the Mission. Investors in the Vision.

As members of FABRIC’s Board of Directors, they help fuel the work that strengthens communities, expands opportunity, uplifts wellbeing, and builds lasting impact across the Mississippi Delta and beyond.

Each horse represents a purpose.
Each Stable Sponsor represents belief in the future.

This is more than friendly competition.
This is a race for impact.

Join us Saturday, May 23rd in Cleveland, Mississippi for dHERby 2026: A Decade of Service.

Every race begins with a vision.

Before the gates open…
Before the crowd gathers…
Before the horses take the track…
Someone must believe deeply enough to build the course.

As Founder & CEO of FABRIC, Incorporated, I have always believed that service should create transformation, leadership should create access, and vision should create futures.

dHERby 2026 is more than a celebration. It is a reflection of ten years of community, collaboration, public health advocacy, wellbeing work, leadership development, and investing in people across the Mississippi Delta.

The Founder may call the vision forward…
But it takes owners, trainers, jockeys, horses, volunteers, partners, and community to run the race.

Thank you to every person who has believed in FABRIC’s mission over the years.

Now the gates are opening.
And we invite YOU to join the race for impact.

As the Founder & CEO of FABRIC, Incorporated, I’ve learned that nonprofit leadership is part strategist, part storyteller, part fundraiser, part community architect…and occasionally part derby host.

One day I’m building systems, facilitating wellbeing labs, and navigating partnerships. The next, I’m creating spaces for celebration, healing, and connection. I’m learning that leadership does not always have to look exhausted to be effective.

Turns out, mastering the art of wearing multiple hats also means giving yourself permission to enjoy the journey while building something that matters.
