Natasha Brown
Event Committee Chair
I joined Raise a Child because am passionate about volunteering and giving back. My ultimate goal is to play a part in impacting and inspiring our youth through The RACC's curriculum and many events throughout the community. We live in a world that is constantly evolving. Being exposed to a wide range of enrichment programs shouldn’t be a privilege, it should be the norm.

Lena Pryor
Grandma
Grandma Lena Pryor pretty much does whatever she wants and none of us will tell her otherwise. She's a teacher, cook, and all around caregiver. She plays games, monitors activities, and keep the kids in line. Her sole purpose is to spoil the kids, and make sure they get lots of hugs.
