An Intimate Moment With Our Founder🫶🏾

🎉 365 DAYS. ONE LEAP OF FAITH. ONE INCREDIBLE YEAR. 🎉

Who would’ve ever thought that taking one leap of faith would bring us here, 365 days later, celebrating ONE FULL YEAR with every single one of you!💙

Those who know us know we’ve been doing the work for years. Serving, mentoring, pouring into people, showing up for families, and doing the work long before there was ever an anniversary to celebrate.

But look at what one leap of faith has turned into.

What started with faith, a vision, and a heart to serve has grown into something bigger than we could have imagined.

Over this past year, we’ve built relationships, served our community, poured into our youth and families, created opportunities, formed meaningful partnerships, and continued showing up, even when we didn’t know exactly where the journey would lead.

And through it all, YOU showed up with us.

To every parent who trusted us…
Every young person who allowed us to pour into them…
Every volunteer who gave their time…
Every partner who believed in the vision…
Every donor and sponsor who invested in the mission…
And every person who shared a post, spoke our name in a room, encouraged us, prayed for us, or simply believed in what we were building…

THANK YOU. 🫶🏾

We are forever grateful for your love, respect, trust, and support.

Today, we don’t just celebrate an anniversary. We celebrate years of work, 365 days of official growth, countless lessons, meaningful relationships, faith, purpose, and impact.

And the beautiful part?

We’re just getting started. 💫

Happy 1-Year Anniversary to the Walk With Ward Foundation! 🎉🥂

Here’s to Year TWO, and everything God has in store for us next. 🙏🏾💪🏾

Basketball With A Bigger Purpose. 🏀💙

Walk With Ward Foundation had an AMAZING time participating in the Stop the Gun Violence Basketball Game with BagzForTheKids!

Yes, there was basketball.

Yes, there was competition.

And you already know there was plenty of trash talking, laughter, and good energy. 😂🏀

But the real win happened beyond the scoreboard.

It was seeing our young people surrounded by community.

It was watching families laugh together.

It was creating a space where our youth could compete, connect, build relationships, and simply BE KIDS.

Because violence prevention isn’t only about what we tell young people not to do.

It’s also about giving them something positive to belong to.

Mentorship matters.

Exposure matters.

Safe spaces matter.

Positive relationships matter.

And COMMUNITY matters.

Every time organizations come together to pour into our youth, we’re showing them that there are adults willing to show up, walk beside them, and invest in their future.

A huge THANK YOU to BagzForTheKids for allowing Walk With Ward Foundation to be part of such a meaningful event and for continuing to create opportunities that bring our community together around a cause that affects far too many families.

We laughed.

We competed.

We connected.

We made memories.

And most importantly…

WE SHOWED UP FOR OUR YOUTH.

That’s a win we’ll take every single time. 💙🏀

The game may be over, but the mission continues.

If you’re an organization, business, coach, mentor, parent, or community member who believes our young people deserve more positive experiences like this, COME WALK WITH US.

Partner. Volunteer. Sponsor. Donate. Collaborate.

Because when the community shows up together, our young people don’t have to walk alone.
