R. J. Leonard Foundation Partners with Women Who Care to Empower Local Youth

In a powerful display of solidarity and community welfare, the R.J. Leonard Foundation proudly announces a financial gift from 100+ Women Who Care - Bucks County. This collaboration is celebrated with the R.J. Leonard Foundation being selected as the beneficiary of a generous $15,000 financial contribution from an wonderful organization entirely comprised of women. This partnership underscores a shared commitment to empowering young adults transitioning out of the foster care system.

This significant partnership was facilitated by the advocacy of Jo Leonard, who championed the foundation’s cause at a recent 100+ Women Who Care event. Her passion and dedication to supporting young adults aging out of foster care resonated deeply with the members, leading to this impactful contribution.

Lynne Kelleher, Founder of 100 Women Who Care - Bucks County, shared her thoughts on the collaboration: "It's incredible what can happen when a group of amazing women put their hearts and resources together to help others in their community. What's even more amazing is that we do it in record time over a glass of wine, without the hassles of traditional fundraising! 100+ Women Who Care - Bucks County is thrilled to be able to support the RJ Leonard Foundation and the important, heartfelt work they do."

"We are so grateful for the continued dedication of Jo Leonard, and all the women who are part of 100+ Women Who Care Bucks County," said Miles Hanley, Executive Director of the R. J. Leonard Foundation. "Inspiring women like them help support our mission of launching young adults from foster care to self-sufficiency.".
