Last day of 2025 BF
Last Day of BF is always fun and of course we had to close out with the highs and lows of the year as a BF family. We are so proud of each student and beyond grateful for the BF village that surrounds our students with so much love.
Teen Spring Retreat
Our original airbnb had some issues and we had to pivot at 8pm at night. After we loaded up all our supplies not knowing where we would go, one senior said, “we should pray.” This group prayed and asked God to help us find something that we could relax in…and 20 minutes later, HE did and it was 10 times better than what we had left.
New BF Year Kickoff!
Nothing kicks off a BF year like a service project! Our kids have the kindest servant hearts.
“They will know us by our LOVE.”
Senior Trip
One of the most exciting parts at BF is watching our seniors plan a senior trip.
These 2 seniors boarded a trip to NYC. They are looking forward to attending the The Great Gatsby on Broadway and other items in the city.
2025 Bizkids
Bizkids is BF’s Shark Tank where 6 winners will be chosen for $250 of start up money and a limo ride from school. All participants have done a fantastic job and we are extremely proud of all of their hard work, effort and creativity.
Check our Facebook page for the winners and the limo ride video.
At The Brandon Foundation, we show students the power of their potential through individualized, family-focused mentoring and support.
Be sure to check out BF Grad Isaiah Franklin’s video that showcases our seniors and mission
In the Spring of 2019, Dejiah became the first graduate from The Brandon Foundation, a mentoring and tutoring program where students are shown the power of their potential while supporting them academically and socially. Dejiah's story is not a sad story, but a story of victory. With support from viewers like you, more children like Dejiah will be given the tools to succeed.

How has The Brandon Foundation impacted you?
Abdul - mentor
I like being able to meet up with my student on a weekly basis; this place helps me feel that I am needed and loved.
Katrise Hawkins - parent
The old adage says, "It takes a village to raise a child," so we are forever thankful and appreciative for The Brandon Foundation for being apart of our village. The support and mentoring they have provided our three children is helping them to know their purpose so they can be a blessing to someone in their adult age. Thank you so much BF!
DJ Hawkins - Foundation Student
It changed my life, because you all encourage me and make me a better person, and you all build me up.
#SERVE
One Saturday a month our group serves in the community. Kaniyah, Jerissa and Cayden had a great time passing out these during a Kindness Mission at Lutheran Children’s Hospital.
