Dear Friends, Our family has always held education as a top priority. My mother and father were the first in their families to graduate from college. We benefited from their courageous struggles. While our family has benefited from great education, we know that many others are struggling. Thus, we formed The Blackburn Foundation to promote higher education and community development. The Blackburn Foundation is an investment in your community. Since the pandemic, parents, students, and teachers have been struggling to make education ready, real and relevant. It has not school as we knew before. There is a new norm for education. The Blackburn Foundation is here to help, with your support. We help parents prepare for school with educational materials and supplies. We help students stay encouraged about education. We help teachers stay focused on students with additional tools they need for their classrooms. The Blackburn Foundation can help, with your support. With your donation of $25, $50, $100 or more, the Blackburn Foundation can provide much needed support to education. We are here to help, with your support. The Blackburn Foundation needs your support.
