Hello all!

I wanted to wait until I got everyone squared away as far as receiving their scholarship items before I mentioned anything. All praises go to God that we were able to pull this off bigger and better than we expected. Four recipients were able to receive items that will help them further their education past high school.

Congratulations:

Nakyra Moore
Nika Jackson
Sarai Raygoza

You ladies are destined for greatness.

To know my father was to know love and selflessness. I am proud to be a part of and continue that legacy.

Please look out for upcoming announcements on other opportunities or events later this year.

We will also be back next year for another scholarship for the class of 2025 as well!

Have a great evening ❤️

This Foundation was created in Loving Memory of Ray Allen Marner. Ray was a Pilar in his community and church. It was only right to create a foundation in his memory to do what he loved to do which was give back and be an inspiration to others.

We will be starting with the kids and teachers in the Tyrrell County School Systems by giving back. It will begin with school supplies and classroom supplies and eventually go as far as to developing a scholarship for high school seniors He held “his babies” and coworkers near and dear to his heart in Tyrrell County.

Please feel free to reach out with any questions that you may have or for more information about future events in support.

Thank you for Loving our father just like we did.
