Abshire PR recently had the opportunity to work with the Southeast Georgia Leadership Forum in announcing their headlining speakers for this year’s Forum. Award-winning singer/songwriter, entrepreneur and philanthropist, Ciara, and her husband Russell Wilson, Super Bowl Champion, entrepreneur and philanthropist will headline the speakers for this year’s Forum.

Wilson and Ciara are committed philanthropists, co-founding the Why Not You Foundation with a focus on pediatric cancer, fighting poverty and education. Since 2014, they have raised more than $10 million for pediatric cancer research. Recently, they became New York Times Bestselling authors with the release of their first children’s book “Why Not You” (Random House). Through the foundation, the Wilsons have also funded a charter school in Seattle, which opened in late 2021.

With its core mission being to include, listen, learn, act and grow, the Forum was founded to help our region break the cycle of systemic issues holding our community back from reaching its fullest potential. The Forum brings people together for inclusive conversations to hear one another, craft solutions, and growth opportunities for all.
