Legacy Lives On: The Story of Rich Storm

Rich Storm is more than just a name—it’s a legacy.

It honors two dynamic brothers, Gary Storm and Richard Cunningham, who were bound by a shared mission: to inspire, to build, and to hustle with purpose. Though they are no longer with us physically, their energy, influence, and entrepreneurial fire still echo through the lives they touched and the dreams they sparked.

Together, Gary and Richard were part of Harassmode Entertainment, a bold and unapologetic creative movement that brought together local talent. They didn’t just dream—they acted. They didn’t just talk business—they built it. Rich Storm was born out of that same energy—two brothers standing strong on a vision bigger than themselves.  Now, through the Rich Storm Scholarship, their story continues.

Carrying the Torch Forward

The Rich Storm Scholarship was created to honor the memory and mission of Gary Storm and Richard Cunningham—two Black kings who showed us what it meant to dream loud, stand tall, and move different.

This scholarship invests in the next generation of young entrepreneurs, creatives, and change-makers. It’s for those who feel called to lead, create, and elevate their communities—just like Gary and Rich did.

We support youth and young adults who are:

• Launching a business
   
• Developing a creative passion project
   
• Seeking education in entrepreneurship or leadership
   
• Giving back to their community in meaningful ways
   

Whether it’s startup funding, equipment, or tuition—we want to make sure the grind gets backed.

“This isn’t just money—it’s a message. You are the next chapter in their story.”
 

Let’s carry this legacy forward. Let’s build the next wave of creators, thinkers, and leaders—because Rich Storm isn’t over. It’s just beginning.
