What a powerful and unforgettable time we had together at the Shared Legacies documentary screening at the Challenger Learning Center in partnership with the Holocaust Education Resource Center (HERC).

More than 40 teens from the Boys & Girls Club joined an intergenerational audience representing diverse ethnic and professional backgrounds. The unity in the room was powerful, young leaders sitting alongside seasoned leaders, reflecting on faith, resilience, collaboration, and purpose.

The post-event panel featuring Dr. Andrea Oliver, Dr. Monte Finkelstein, and Min. Dalaitre Hollinger added thoughtful insight and historical context, helping us process the experience in a deeper way. Their perspectives reinforced that legacy is intentional, it is built through conversation, mentorship, and action.

Moments like this remind us why Champions Ranch matters. We are building more than a campus.

We are building community.
We are building legacy.
We are building champions.
