Milestone Reached: Celebrating Our Kings, Our Stories
The power of community has never been more evident than it is today. We are thrilled to announce that, thanks to your overwhelming generosity, we have officially surpassed our $50,000 fundraising goal for the "Our Kings, Our Stories" campaign!
This achievement belongs to all of you, but we want to extend a special, heartfelt shout-out to the Jean Wing Foundation. Their incredible contribution was the final push that moved us across the finish line, honoring the legacy of a visionary who dedicated her life to educational equity in Oakland.
While we have reached our initial summit, the need to uplift and celebrate the brilliance of Black boys is more urgent than ever. Because of this momentum, we are setting our sights even higher with a new stretch goal of $100,000. We are already 70% of the way there, and with your continued support, we can double our impact in the coming year.
These funds are critical for our 2026 initiatives, including:
The 2026 Student Showcase: A platform for our Kings to present their leadership projects and creative media.
KOO Labs Expansion: Providing hands-on training in music production, fashion, and digital arts.
National Growth: Bringing our Crowns Curriculum and Jegna Early Literacy programs to more schools across the country.
Please consider a gift to help us reach our $100k milestone. Every dollar fuels the movement to provide safe, affirming spaces where our Kings can thrive.
