SAN BERNARDINO, CA— Time for Change Foundation proudly announces Charisse Bremond Weaver and George Weaver as the esteemed recipients of the 2025 Dynamic Duo Award at the 23rd Annual Awards Gala. This year’s theme, “Unwavering: Igniting Change, Inspiring Hope,” celebrates visionary leaders who have dedicated their lives to creating lasting change—and Charisse and George exemplify this mission through their extraordinary leadership at Brotherhood Crusade.

For nearly two decades, Charisse Bremond Weaver, President & CEO, and George Weaver have expanded Brotherhood Crusade’s reach, championing equity and social justice while uplifting thousands of underserved youth and families.

Beyond their impact in Los Angeles, Charisse and George’s influence has been recognized nationally, with accolades such as the NFL & Los Angeles Chargers Inspire Change Award, KTLA’s Black Visionary Award, and the James Irvine Leadership Award, often regarded as the Nobel Prize of the nonprofit sector. Their ability to cultivate powerful partnerships across government, corporate, and community sectors has solidified Brotherhood Crusade as a force for economic empowerment and youth development.
