    honoring our legacy

    A Legacy of Leadership: Will Dent

     

    In 1973, Will Dent founded ABCD Inc. with a vision to uplift communities and create lasting change.

    Through decades of leadership, his dedication transformed ABCD into a trusted and impactful organization. His commitment to service, equity, and opportunity has touched countless lives.

    As we celebrate his retirement, we honor not just his accomplishments—but the enduring legacy he leaves behind.

    One of his favorite scriptures is  Jeremiah 29:4-7 ...which instructs the exiles in Babylon to settle, multiply, and seek the welfare of the city, promising that their prosperity is linked to the city’s peace, and pray for the city.




    the next chapter begins

He served as the Board Chair of ABCD, an Assistant Principal in the Canton City School system and he is a proud member of Omega Psi Phi Fraternity, Inc., where the values of service, leadership, and excellence continue to shape his approach to community work.

    He also serves as Pastor of True Light Ministries in Canton, Ohio; leading with faith, humility, and a deep commitment to people.

    He is married to his wife, Kim, and together they are the proud parents of two children.

    Grounded in service and purpose, Mr. Davenport is focused on honoring ABCD’s legacy while resetting for the future.
