The resolution recognizes the 15th anniversary of the William O. Lockridge Community Foundation (WOLCF), which was established in honor of the late educator and civic leader William Lockridge. The foundation is dedicated to empowering youth in Washington, DC's Wards 7 and 8 by closing the education gap through various initiatives, including scholarships, mentoring, and international travel opportunities. To date, WOLCF has awarded over $500,000 in scholarships to high school seniors and runs several key programs, such as the Emergency Financial Assistance Program and the International Ambassadors Program, which helps students gain global perspectives.

The resolution expresses gratitude to the William O. Lockridge Community Foundation for its 15 years of service in promoting access to higher education and supporting the community. It highlights the foundation's impact on students' academic and professional development and acknowledges the contributions of partners and investors who support its fundraising efforts. The resolution will take effect immediately upon publication in the District of Columbia Register.
