Events
Thank you to all who volunteer, attend, and donate towards the Cecil K. & Leroy J. Foundation. Your participation is a blessing and allows us to grow further in our mission. All proceeds go to deserving students who need a helping hand to pursue their dreams of earning a college degree. We've seen first-hand how student lives can be powerfully impacted through financial assistance, which symbolizes the faith others place in their ability to succeed.
