Lil City Voices | Community Corner

A Simple Way to Thank Leo ⭐

If you’ve been enjoying Leo’s Lil City newsletter, here’s a small way to give back. Leo quietly pours hours into every issue and never asks for anything in return, so we’re asking for him. His Oak Ridge wrestling team is raising funds for new equipment, tournament fees, and team apparel—but your support goes deeper than gear.

You’re backing a group of young men and women who are learning discipline, resilience, and good character—the kind of future leaders our community and country need.

Thank you for helping lift Leo and his teammates higher. 🙏💪🙏💪
