Together, We Keep the Legacy Alive

When Ron Dugans Sr. founded 81 Legacy Keepers, he did so in tribute to the sacrifices and strength of his grandmother, Josette Dugans, whose love shaped generations. Her example became the foundation for a movement that recognizes and uplifts families like hers—families who quietly hold their communities together through faith, perseverance, and unconditional love.
