Today, we honor the remarkable legacy of Bernie Marcus, a steadfast champion of KIPP Atlanta Schools since 2006. Just last month, his unwavering belief in the potential of our scholars was reflected in a generous multi-year gift to support our growth and extend our impact. His compassion and commitment will continue to inspire us as we carry his legacy forward. Rest in peace, Mr. Marcus—you will be deeply missed, but always remembered. #TheMarcusFoundation
