Honoring the Life and Legacy of David Oliver

It is with heartfelt sadness that we learned of the passing of our beloved co-founder and board member, David Oliver.
David was a visionary leader, a dedicated volunteer, and a true Kansas City icon. He brought extraordinary wisdom, generosity, and expertise to everything he touched. David was passionate about his law profession, committed to strengthening our communities, and deeply invested in building a brighter future for all.
He was instrumental in the creation of our organization – helping to shape our vision, define our mission, and champion our belief that every student deserves to be prepared for success. His influence will be felt for generations to come.
We are profoundly grateful for David’s leadership, his unwavering belief in our work, and the kindness he shared so freely. Our thoughts are with his family, friends, and everyone who had the privilege of knowing him.
