Celebrating the Poetry Contest Winners at the Long Beach Martin Luther King Jr. Celebration. by @wegotthislbc

It takes a community to fuel change. Thank you to the City of Long Beach, and everyone involved in this year's Annual Peace and Unity 5K. From community moments to city recognition, every step of this journey reflects what happens when people come together with intention.

We are proud to name Hoops After Dark as this year’s scholarship winner, a program dedicated to supporting at-risk youth through late-night basketball runs, while also teaching life skills, leadership, and personal growth. What began as a vision in 2010 continues through every volunteer, every partner, and every family who believes in this mission. This is what real impact looks like.
