Hopefully they have had some time to rest and decompress by now. They earned it after finals.

But summer does not last forever and there is still time to make it count.

Encourage them to touch base with their academic advisor before the new semester.

Help them look into a summer job, an internship or a volunteer opportunity in something they care about.

Have real conversations about where they are headed and what they need to get there.

You do not have to have all the answers. Showing up is enough.

The college kids who go back in the fall ready are almost always the ones who had someone at home paying attention.

That someone is you.

Today we want to celebrate Mr. Michael Riley.

Mike is a past board member who never really left.

Even after his time on the board he kept showing up, supporting our fundraising efforts and taking on fiduciary responsibilities without being asked.

That is just who Mike is.

Ten years of service to this foundation. Ten years of showing up unselfishly for students he may never even meet.

That kind of dedication deserves to be celebrated.

Thank you Mike.

We are grateful for everything you have poured into this mission.

𝗪𝗲 𝗮𝗿𝗲 𝗵𝗮𝗹𝗳𝘄𝗮𝘆 𝘁𝗵𝗿𝗼𝘂𝗴𝗵 𝘁𝗵𝗲 𝘆𝗲𝗮𝗿…

If this year has felt heavy for you so far, this one is for you…

"But those who wait upon the LORD will renew their strength; they will mount up with wings like eagles; they will run and not grow weary, they will walk and not faint." -Isaiah 40:31

That is a promise worth holding onto, especially in the middle of the year when the weight of everything starts to feel real.

Rest if you need to.

Then keep going.

The FreshFutures Youth Summer Internship Program is back and so are we.

This is our fourth year partnering with Fresh Ministries to give young people something that nobody can take away from them ... real experience in real workplaces!

We have four interns this summer and watching them step into professional environments for the first time is honestly one of our favorite things about this time of year.

We cannot wait to see what this summer does for them.

The Belk Charity Sale wrapped up this past weekend and we had a great time.

𝗠𝗕𝗕𝗦𝗙 𝗗𝗼𝗻𝗼𝗿 𝗦𝗽𝗼𝘁𝗹𝗶𝗴𝗵𝘁

Today we want to celebrate Ms. Loraine Morgan.

Loraine knows firsthand what it feels like to navigate life without guidance or encouragement toward college.

And instead of leaving that experience behind her, she turned it into a reason to give back.

In her own words…

"I enthusiastically donate to MBBSF in support of the bright young minds who come from the same background as myself, disadvantaged and underrepresented. I had no encouragement or guidance relative to attending college, so supporting such a wonderful cause is an easy choice for me."

She met Dr. Brenda Boston-Hudson in 2018, heard the story behind the foundation and never looked back.

She even had the privilege of meeting the late Dr. Marie Barney Boston shortly before she passed.

Some people donate to causes. Loraine donates to people. And that makes all the difference.

Thank you Ms. Loraine for showing up for students who remind you of yourself. We are grateful for you.

Today we want to celebrate someone who has been showing up for this mission for a long time.

Meet Dr. Carolyn Boston Love, the youngest daughter of Dr. Marie Barney Boston.

She has been supporting MBBSF since its inception Ten years to date.

That kind of loyalty means everything to an organization like ours.

It is what keeps us going and what makes it possible for us to keep investing in students year after year.

Thank you Dr. Carolyn for believing in this mission and for never stopping.

We are deeply grateful for you.

𝗠𝗕𝗕𝗦𝗙 𝗠𝗲𝗻𝘁𝗼𝗿 𝗦𝗽𝗼𝘁𝗹𝗶𝗴𝗵𝘁

We’ve talked a lot about our scholars. Today we are talking about the people behind them.

Meet Dr. Leonard Jackson, our Executive Director, Educator, Mentor and Governance Chairperson.

Dr. Leonard drives the organization`s strategic vision, overseeing daily operations for the entire organization and still finds time to mentor students himself.

That says a lot about the kind of person he is.

His mentee Katelyn Tijerina just graduated, presented at two major conferences and walked away with a full ride to Elon University for her Master's in Higher Education.

We are proud of Katelyn.

And we are equally proud of the mentor who walked alongside her.

𝗠𝗕𝗕𝗦𝗙 𝗗𝗼𝗻𝗼𝗿 𝗦𝗽𝗼𝘁𝗹𝗶𝗴𝗵𝘁

This week, we want to celebrate someone who has been with us from the very beginning.

Meet Johnestine Young Daigeau...

Johnestine was a classmate of our late founder Dr. Marie Barney Boston.

Two women who met in school decades ago and ended up changing lives together.

That kind of friendship doesn't happen by accident.

She spent 32 years pouring herself into Jacksonville classrooms as a librarian, teacher and principal.

And when she was done she didn't stop…she kept showing up for students through MBBSF as our top donor.

Her impact runs so deep that we named one of our scholarship awards after her the Johnestine Young Daigeau Education Award.

Because some people deserve to be honored while they are still here to see it.

Thank you Johnestine for never stopping.

Every student we support carries a little piece of your legacy with them.
