Additionally, the JJ College GAP Fund provides $250-$2,000 financial gifts to HBCU graduating seniors facing tuition barriers. The Foundation's signature event, Legacy In Bloom, serves as its primary fundraising celebration. These programs collectively address systemic barriers affecting children and families in historically under-resourced communities through investments in education, health, and economic opportunity.
