Wishing you all a very safe and happy Thanksgiving holiday!
Thanksgiving is a time to spend with loved ones, a time to be thankful for what we have, and a time to remember those who are struggling. The founder of Sunny Biggy Fitness, Sunny Akhigbe, is also the founder of A Boy and His Dream Foundation.
In his book, A Boy and His Dream, Sunny Akhigbe (pen name Okosun), shares the struggles he endured and how he strived to overcome those early challenges. From hunger to being ostracized by a polygamist family, he experienced severe poverty while growing up. At the same time, his elders imparted important lessons that Sunny Akhigbe (pen name Okosun) took to heart, including the message that he was in charge of his own destiny.
Sunny built A Boy and His Dream 501(c)(3) non-profit to help children in Chicago and in Nigeria, so that they, like him, could learn to be in charge of their own destiny. The foundation supports children through mentorship, scholarships, speaking engagements, and more. All funds raised go directly to the children A Boy and His Dream supports. If you would like to give this holiday season, any donation amount, monthly or one-time is so greatly appreciated.
