Dear Mosby Memorial Baptist Church, I want to express my heartfelt gratitude for selecting me as the recipient of the Chris Jones Innovator Award. It truly means a lot to be honored in this way, and I’m thrilled to have the opportunity to carry on Chris Jones’s legacy through this scholarship. This award lifts a significant financial weight from my shoulders and gives me the freedom to focus on my studies, leadership, and service without worrying about the cost of my education. Your support is opening doors that will allow me to pursue my passion for advocacy and justice both in college and beyond. As a senior at Richmond Community High School, I dedicated myself to academics, athletics, and community service. Whether serving on the Human Rights Commission, leading food drives, or representing my peers on various councils, I strive to make a positive impact every day. My ultimate goal is to study Psychology and become a lawyer who fights for equity and social justice. I’m inspired by the mission of Mosby Memorial Baptist Church to create a caring community by leading with love and listening. Your commitment to uplifting others motivates me to continue giving back and to stand up for those who need it most. Thank you so much for believing in my potential and for your generosity in honoring Chris Jones’s memory. Your support has made a real difference in my life, and I hope to pay it forward as I launch into my future. Thank you, Deon Wright
