The 53rd Hill•Raiford•Bullard Family Reunion will be held the weekend of August 1st, 2025 in Ohio!

Hello Family,

The Ohio Chapter is honored to host the 55th Hill Raiford Bullard Family Reunion on Friday, August 1, 2025 thru Sunday, August 3, 2025. This will be a special time for us to come together, reconnect, and celebrate our shared journey. This year’s gathering will include a variety of activities for your enjoyment, ensuring a memorable experience for all.

A key highlight of our reunion will a dedication service in honor of our very own, the late Elmer Ross, at Wright Patt Air Force Base. This will be a meaningful moment to pay tribute to his legacy and the impact he had on the lives of many.

As we celebrate one another, we will also take the time to reflect on those who have gone before us, honoring our roots while paving the way forward for generations. Let’s come together to share stories, laughter, and appreciate for the bonds that unite us. 


With love and anticipation,

Dayton Chapter of the Hill, Raiford, Bullard Family
