The 3rd Annual Ward Family Foundation Championship Brunch was a huge success because of your support. We hope you enjoyed Charlie’s Chalk Talk with Olympic legend Jackie Joyner-Kersee, and honoring Coach Leonard & Mrs. Claudette Hamilton with the Charlie Ward Distinguished Excellence Award and celebrating Richard & Elizabeth Albertson with the Bowden Family Legacy Award.

Together we are getting closer to breaking ground on the first field at the Charlie Ward Champions Ranch. We hope we can count on your continued support so that together we can build futures!
