Kenyon Murray, Murray Foundation
Using Blessings to Build Up Communities, New North Liberty Athletics Complex

"We often talk about the importance of giving back, but I believe it goes deeper than that. When we recognize that every blessing we’ve received comes from God, we realize we’re called to share those blessings — to help others rise, to build bridges of hope, and to create opportunities that last for generations.

Through our foundation and our sports programs we’re doing just that:

  • The Murray Foundation is focused on building a lasting community impact through youth development, wellness initiatives, and the Corda Sports Center — a space designed to empower families and provide access for all.

  • Murray Elite Basketball continues to invest in young athletes, teaching discipline, leadership, and life skills that extend far beyond the court.

Together, with Junior Achievement, the Zach Johnson Foundation and Brightn, our shared mission: to use our blessings to bless others and strengthen the communities we serve."

 

Kenyon will talk about the Murray Foundation and the new athletics complex under construction in North Liberty. 

Ryan Heiar will introduce Kenyon.
