We at Kingmakers of Oakland are deeply grateful to the Gilead Foundation and its Creating Possible Fund for featuring our “Crowns Curriculum” and highlighting the impact of our work through this impactful video you produced. Thank you for supporting our work to engage, encourage, and empower our young Kings. Being selected as one of the inaugural grantees, alongside national leaders in education equity, validates our mission and helps us scale our efforts to ensure Black boys in Oakland recognize and step into their innate greatness. Through this meaningful partnership, we are able to draw out brilliance in our youth and remind them to take their crowns out of their pockets and truly rock them with pride. Thank you for investing in this movement and believing in these Kings. Because of your support, we can advance education equity and health equity in a way that transforms lives.
