The Power of Mentoring unlocks our students' potential in incalculable ways. Join us four annual fundraising event to celebrate mentoring in all its forms.
Our Keynote Speaker is Dr. John Murphy, President & CEO of Nuvance Health, and a man whose faith plays a significant role in his life. As always, we'll also share how Jericho's programs & services are deeply impacting the lives of the at-risk youth we serve. You will be inspired!
We're also delighted to honor Cedric & Anita Rice as our Good Samaritans of the Year for 2024. Legends at Jericho, Ced & Anita have invested in the lives of our students for decades, as mentors, tutors, and workshop leaders. Their impact is practically immeasurable!

Jericho serves hundreds of youth with academic, tutoring, food security, and healthcare services - and has an immeasurable impact across our city. This year, Jericho is focusing on improving the quality of our existing academic and mentoring programs, providing students with cutting-edge innovation-based curriculum, a robust offering of college, job and life-prep workshops, and social & emotional mental health support.
Your support makes it all possible!

Hungry kids can't concentrate on learning.
When 6th-12th grade students come to our tutoring program, the first thing we do is give them a hot meal - that's one less obstacle these youth at-risk need to manage.

Chief Patrick Ridenhour Biography
Patrick Ridenhour, born and raised in Waterbury, CT by a police detective/investigator father and a school teacher mother (now retired from Waterbury district), has been the highest ranking officer in the Danbury Police Department since July 2016. The hallmarks of his tenure thus far have been to improve police-community relations, develop personnel, and bring new strategies for crime prevention to the department.
Chief Ridenhour began his law enforcement career in 1988 with the Waterbury Police Department, starting as a Patrol Officer, and rose up the ranks to Assistant Deputy Chief in 2005. In his off-time he volunteered for many community initiatives, served as a youth mentor, and coached girls softball, basketball, and soccer for the Waterbury Police Activities League (PAL). He retired from the Waterbury Police Department in 2008 and worked in the Waterbury Public Schools system for the 2008-2009 school year.
In 2009 Mr. Ridenhour was hired to be the Deputy Chief of the Stratford, CT Police Department where he oversaw the daily operations of the department’s Patrol, Investigative, Professional Standards, and Administrative divisions. In April 2011 he took over as the Interim Chief before being officially promoted to the position in March 2012. He also served as a mentor in Stratford’s School Based Mentoring Program and was an active member of the town’s Citizens Addressing Racial Equity (C.A.R.E). During his tenure the town’s overall crime rate dropped by more than 35%.
Chief Ridenhour holds a Certificate in Criminal Justice Education from the University of Virginia, a Bachelor’s Degree from Charter Oak State College, and a Master’s Degree in Organizational Management and Leadership from Springfield College. He is also a graduate of both the FBI National Academy and the FBI Law Enforcement Executive Development Seminar in Quantico, VA. He currently serves as a Vice-President of the Connecticut Police Chiefs Association and on the Executive Board of the Connecticut Chapter of the National Organization of Black Law Enforcement Executives (NOBLE). He is also a Board Member of the Danbury Police Activities League (PAL) and recently became a member of the Danbury Lions Club. He has received numerous awards throughout his life and career for both his community service and his professional accomplishments.
Chief Ridenhour was baptized at the age of five at Grace Baptist Church in Waterbury, where his late grandfather served as the Head Deacon. For the past two years he has regularly attended New Hope Baptist Church in Danbury.
