Looking Back at 2025

Written By Helle Creative // Claire Allen

We are grateful for the generosity of our community, friends and family who continue to support the Blake Cowden Leadership Foundation with donations which allow us to support organizations committed to youth leadership and are making a difference in our communities.

In 2025 we have been honored to further Blake’s legacy by supporting:

  • Tri Valley High School

    • Blake Cowden Leadership Scholarship

    • FFA chapter in support of the Washington DC Leadership Conference

    • Football team leadership devotionals

  • Teach One To Lead One

    • A national public school mentoring program

  • Young Leaders In Action

    • A youth lead initiative of the community Foundation of Macon County

  • North Central Illinois Fellowship of Christian Athletes Leadership Camp

  • Hillsdale College Leadership Scholarship

  • Vale Church

    • Youth leadership initiative and youth camp scholarships

All of these organizations were either important to Blake and made a difference in his life, or are representative of organizations he would have been proud to support.

We would like to recognize our board members who have been a tremendous asset to the Foundation:

  • Jon Nelson

  • Austin Schenkel

  • Travis Goveia

  • Kyle Threewit

  • Austin Havens

  • Keenan Kelley

Because of their help and direction the Foundation was able to increase the total year over year financial support to these organizations, and we are honored to have them involved in preserving Blake’s legacy by positively impacting youth in our communities.
