Breakfast, brotherhood, real conversation. Our President & CEO Donald M. Ruff Jr. recently sat down with young men at Eagle Bronx, Southeast Queens, and Newark — talking leadership, legacy and culture, all at the same table. We are looking forward to having breakfast with more young men at each Eagle Academy soon. Special shoutout to the Bronx, Southeast Queens, and Newark school communities. A big thanks to our videographer team, Mixson Media — run by an Eagle Academy Ocean Hill alumnus — for capturing it all. 🦅 #EagleAcademy #BreakfastWithTheCEO #BuildingTheBridge

Eagle Academy for Young Men of Newark would like to send a **HUGE thank you and shoutout to our valued community partner, Rizz of Rizz Ink**, for selecting several of our young men to model his custom-designed sneakers at the **Newark Board of Education Fashion Show**, hosted by the Newark School of Fashion & Design on Saturday, June 6, 2026.

This experience was about much more than fashion—it was about exposure, mentorship, creativity, entrepreneurship, and providing our scholars with opportunities to shine on a larger stage. Our young men proudly represented Eagle Academy and the Newark Public Schools community while gaining firsthand insight into what it takes to build a successful brand and business.

Rizz, thank you for investing your time, talent, and energy into our scholars. Your willingness to mentor and inspire our young men is a powerful example of what it means to give back to the community. Through your work and your story, our scholars were able to see entrepreneurship in action and learn valuable lessons about passion, perseverance, and purpose.

Our young men had an incredible time, made lasting memories, and were honored to represent their school district at such a prestigious event. Opportunities like these help us continue to build confidence, leadership, and real-world experiences for our scholars.

Thank you again, Rizz, for your continued partnership and for being a true example of *Excellence, Entrepreneurship, and Community Leadership.**
