Violence Prevention Program

Ronnell Winfrey, Executive Director of CHESS Foundation NFP, stresses the importance of education in alleviating poverty, offering scholarships, mentorship, and resources for educational equity. Collaborating with community partners, they advocate for nonviolence with the motto "Put the guns down and pick up a book." The foundation supports positive change, warning of irreversible consequences of mistakes, and is committed to transforming lives through education and guidance.

Remembering the Fallen

In the quiet of our minds, we cherish the memories of those lost to the senseless tragedy of gun violence. Each heartbeat silenced prematurely leaves an indelible void in our communities, a shadow born not of nature, but of the neglect of compassion, understanding, and respect for life's sanctity.
