Gary Edwards Leadership Day
The first ever Gary Edwards Leadership Day was held on Saturday, March 9, 2013 at Suwannee High School, organized by brothers and Suwannee High School graduates, Sherman and Sherwin Riley. The event was a collaborative effort by the Rileys, several other individuals and also Knots4Kids, a Jacksonville based organization, whose team also specializes in conducting these types of events.

The event is designed for young men in grades four through 12 focusing on teaching modules that support their needs in several areas. Five of the modules that were conducted that day were Health and Fitness, Crime Prevention, Dressing for Success, Dining Etiquette and Chivalry.
