TThe Red & Gena Leonard Foundation was established in 1997 by the late Red & Gena Leonard to improve the educational opportunities of average students of good character with poor financial circumstances who have a desire to seek further educational opportunities. These funds represent a lifetime of hard work and frugal living coupled with a desire to give back to the communities they loved. Red and Gena believed in "helping people help themselves through education and work", and that has become our mission statement for this foundation. Red & Gena Dedicated their lives to enrich the lives of others.
