It is with a heavy heart that we share that Ronald O. Rogers passed away on Tuesday. Ron was a dear friend, mentor, sponsor and teacher. He was the ultimate connector who opened doors for many people and was always willing to share his time and advice. He helped to raise over $1.5M for the 100 Black Men of Orlando scholarship program to benefit the students at his alma mater, Jones High School. Ron's legacy will live on for many generations to come.
We are grateful that Ron shared his wisdom and stories at our last Raise Your Glass UNITY Networking Mixer. For Black History Month, he shared stories that taught the audience about the strength of the black community, family and servant leadership.
Ron's service will be streamed live tomorrow at 10am from at Jones High School via YouTube - https://www.youtube.com/channel/UCDT8VZ4yUhmtzCJNJBwFfJA/
In lieu of flowers, the family requests that donations are made to preserve his legacy of awarding scholarships in perpetuity to: The 100 Black Men of Greater Orlando, Inc, PO Box 547683, Orlando, FL 32854. Please write Ron Rogers on the memo line.
