This organization was created in loving memory of Margie Reed (Jan 2, 1939-Oct 1, 2020). Throughout her life she gave to numerous people despite their race, gender or socio-economic status. Our goal is to continue the legacy of giving by connecting with at-risk or underprivileged youth ages 10-17 years of age.
