“The RWF has become a family for which I am ever grateful and has taught me rewarding skills that will travel with me throughout my life.” – Brittany Banks “RWF helped me grow into a young lady and taught me to stay focused and keep my priorities in order. “The RWF has taught me that you don’t have to achieve success by yourself if you have people around you who will encourage you to soar way beyond the ends of the earth!” – Ochga Smith “As I venture out of the program and explore different paths of life, I will always remember coming in as a girl and exiting a woman – a woman who has all the intentions of leaving a humongous mark on this world.” – Ravynne Gilmore “It has been four great years of non-stop laughter, learning, and love.” – Ravynne Gilmore “The RWF has made me more diligent, competent, respectful, and strong. I feel more confident when I walk into a room.” – Olivia Bishop “RWF has taught me to be a better person and broadened my horizons. I also learned to become independent.” – Kiara Moody “The Foundation has helped shape me throughout the five years I have been involved. Without this experience I don’t believe I would have evolved into the person I am today. “ – Dayna White

A TIME FOR CELEBRATIONS!!!

Mother’s Day, prom, graduation, summer break.  All those things come to mind when we think of the merry month of May. Add the RWF’s annual Scholar Power Scholarship Breakfast, our special 24-Hour Girl Talk event, and the list is complete. As always, we have a busy month ahead for us, and the fun goes well into summer.

In July, we’ll host our Second Annual Give And Get Fit health fair fundraiser at Somerset Mall in Troy.  This year’s event will be even bigger with the addition of a 5K and a 10K run/walk!  Fitness and healthy living are key to our mission of helping today’s teen girls become tomorrow’s leaders. Take a few moments to tour our website and discover who we are, what we’re about, and what we’re doing. We’re confident you’ll like what you see. And if you do, please consider becoming a mentor, being part of our Sponsor a Teen program, or making a donation in an amount you choose.

Sincerely,

Rhonda Walker
Founder and President
