Meet Our Radical Champions!

Our Radical Champions are everyday heroes; friends, neighbors, and local leaders who’ve stepped up to do something bold for our community. Each Champion is on a mission to share the story of Radical Life while they raise $1,000, all with the goal of helping more families find hope, stability, and safety in their homes.

Now it’s your turn to join the movement! Explore their stories below. Pick a Champion to support. Make a radical impact together.

Every dollar raised and every conversation sparked brings us one step closer to transforming lives right here in our hometown.

Let’s be radical together.
