"Of all the people in our world, crossing paths with this young man has been an incredible blessing! Driven by his philanthropic heart, Leighton Schur, a 16 years old from Redding, Ct. is on a mission to help children in foster care. The CEO of his very own, nonprofit, The Future of Your Future, raises funds to help children in foster care experience the arts, music and other extra curricular activities that may lead to a hobby, an unexplored gift or a new found talent. Thankful to you, Leighton, for also supporting the Teddy Bear Drive. Twenty Five bears were adopted through Build-A-Bear, bringing comfort to children this National Adoption Month... an impressive young man whose selfless nature is an inspiration & a role model to so many & ... how lucky I am to have his support!
