Let’s take a moment to recognize a few of our Kings who received honorable mentions at this year’s TFI Awards Ceremony. While every one of our Kings deserves recognition, this month we’re shining a light on three young men who exemplified the core values of Kingmakers of Oakland—demonstrating outstanding leadership, a deep commitment to community, and academic excellence.
Raymond Garza was honored with the Love Award, celebrating his compassion, generosity, and unwavering community spirit.
Ahmad Jackson and Carmelo Harris both received the Academic Excellence Award for their exceptional achievements in the classroom and their dedication to learning.
Each award reflects not only personal growth but also the ethos that drives our work at Kingmakers every day: cultivating love, leadership, and excellence in our youth. We are proud of these young Kings for showing us what it looks like to lead with purpose and heart.
