There are moments throughout the year that remind us why community matters and Red Kite Nite 2026 was one of them. The event was a reflection of what happens when a village comes together with a shared purpose: to ensure every young person has the opportunity to dream bigger and achieve more.

Henrietta, a single mom in suburban Atlanta, lived in constant fear – terrified she might lose her young son, Darrion, or that someone who didn’t understand his mental and behavioral struggles might hurt him.

Our family is always on the lookout for nonprofit partners doing meaningful, high-impact work. Our philanthropic team at Bank of America introduced us to Youth Villages, and it immediately felt like a perfect fit.
