Leyah’s Mum, Darina, thanks the RGF

Darina wrote to us recently to say: “I would like to take time to thank the Rob George Foundation for their generosity for the grant made to my daughter, Leyah Sheikh. The grant will be used to assist Leyah for her very busy 2019 season. When we received the email approving Leyah’s grant, we felt blessed. Basketball plays a very important role in our family and especially for Leyah. This grant made it possible for Leyah to purchase new equipment. Also, your support has motivated her to keep working hard to achieve her dreams. I hope that the Rob George Foundation will be blessed for your kindness and will continue doing all this amazing work.”
