The most fun you'll have on zoom all year!
The theme of our 2020 Heart for Change virtual gala was Together at Heart. While we were not able to be together in person this year as we may have wished, the R.J. Leonard Foundation family came together in one mission of advancing our current and prospective Fellows.
We are humbled by the incredible generosity from all of you. Your donations, whether in the form of a standard donation, ticket order or auction bid, surpassed not just our goal but our dreams as well. Because of you we were able to raise over $82,000! We cannot thank you enough for your ongoing support of our mission and, more importantly, our Fellows. We hope to be with you in person next year, but if we’re not, we know that being together online and in heart will be more than enough.

Heart for Change is our annual fundraising gala and most anticipated event! At this event, our family comes together to celebrate RJLF's accomplishments and to work towards advancing the foundation even further. The evening consists of live musical performances, silent and live auctions, raffles, speeches and more! In 2019, we held our Heart for Change gala on October 18. Thanks to our incredible family and supporters, this was our most successful celebration yet! We raised over $125,000 which creates opportunities for our existing Fellows as well as helps us to expand the number of Fellows with whom we work. To see highlights from this event, click here.
Annual Celebrity bartending night
Each year, local celebrities volunteer their time as bartenders at this event, which aims to spread awareness for the need to support young adults aging out of foster care in our community.
A year ago, our annual event was hosted by Chambers Bistro & Bar in Doylestown, PA. Chambers generously donated 20% of the proceeds to RJLF, raising $4,000. Updates to come on the 2020 Celebrity Bartending Night!

Annual Open house
On February 4, 2020, RJLF held our first annual open house to welcome old and new family members, spreading the word about the work of the R.J. Leonard Foundation and inspiring new Mentors to join in our mission. The open house was generously hosted by Stacks in Doylestown, Pa. Guests included representatives from Bucks and Montgomery County Children and Youth Services, college liaisons, current Mentors, potential Mentors, board members and even the mayor of Doylestown! The event led to several new connections for the foundation, including partnerships with other community nonprofits that have benefitted Fellows.
we thank our community for choosing to support us

At the Bucks County Water & Sewer Authority 18th annual charity golf tournament on May 23, 2019, RJLF was both thrilled and honored to be chosen as one of the beneficiaries. More than 110 golfers participated, attended a dinner and got an opportunity to learn about the work of our foundation. This was a wonderfully successful event, raising $25,000 to support our mission! Thank you to all participants as well as the BCWSA.
