Leon’s Birthday Wish: Lighting the Path for Future Leaders
For Leon Ford, birthdays aren’t just about celebrating another year, they’re about creating meaningful change. As Leon turns 32, he invites you to join him in lighting candles of hope, opportunity, and empowerment for the next generation.
This year, Leon’s Birthday Wish for Change aims to raise over $10,000 to send promising young students to the 2025 NOBLE Conference, transformative event that provides mentorship, leadership development, and career inspiration through connections with Black law enforcement leaders.
Your support also strengthens Bridging the Badge, an innovative program by The Hear Foundation that introduces youth to meaningful careers in law enforcement, building trust, reconciliation, and accountability through authentic relationships and mentorship.
Every donation lights another candle on Leon’s birthday cake, symbolizing your role in creating brighter futures rooted in relationships, authenticity, love, reconciliation, and accountability.
