"I simply hope to be the person I needed when I was younger. My goal is to use my experience to recognize the ‘look’ in a child’s eyes and employ all of my resources to improve their current and future circumstances."

Kelly Jackson

Executive Director, Stand Up! For Change

"UBF is a Godsend because of our small budget. We are able to help more patients who would neglect their visual health due to income and/or lack of insurance."

Director, Mum-Ford, Inc.

"I've been coming around since I was 11. In Let It Ride, I get to do things I don't normally get to do: rock climbing, fishing, snowshoeing and tobogganing. I found my love for music participating in the music track."

Devonte Wilson

Cleveland Treatment Center

"I have the best job in the world working with Let It Ride youth as they seek to overcome the every day challenges of their communities and realize their life goals."

Prevention Coordinator, Cleveland Treatment Center
