Get that GIVING feeling during GiveBIG 2025 – May 6-7
At PDDBM (Please Don’t Die Black Men), our afterschool programs weren’t born from an idea—they were born from a refusal to accept injustice. Our founder, Ruby N. Lewis, created these programs after her daughter endured years of trauma, isolation, and neglect in the public school system. When the system failed, PDDBM stepped in with a promise: No more Black children should be harmed in the name of education.
✨ GiveBIG 2025 is your chance to support our mission and ensure youth in our community—especially Black, special needs, and underserved students—have access to safe, affirming, and opportunity-rich environments.
