Leslie Richardson Swan & Sparrow Scholarship Fund

Donation protected
Leslie Richardson was a treasure. Our songstress died too early due to complications from COVID-19.

Leslie sang to audiences around the world. She made people smile, laugh, and sometimes cry at the beauty of her voice.

In her honor, amd with the help of the Community Foundation for Northern Virginia, we have created the Leslie Richardson Memorial Swan and Sparrow Scholarship Fund to help a high school senior who wants to attend an HBCU to major in music. The scholarship of $5,000 will be awarded to a student annually.

Please consider making a contribution to help a young person in need attend college so that they may also bring joy through their music! Donate here, or feel free to go directly to the scholarship page on the Community Foundation for Northern Virginia's website, here: https://www.cfnova.org/dona…/leslie-richardson-memorial-fund.

We - her Howard University friends, her family and colleagues - have just one month to meet our goal. Won't you please help?
Any amount of contribution is appreciated.
