We are grateful to Blue Ridge Juvenile Detention for inviting us to hold a Speaker Summit Event, building on our monthly speaker series. We had a great experience with the kids, past speakers, good food and events. We are also grateful for NBC29 news coming out to cover the event.

We are excited to be fundraising on the high seas this November. You are cordially invited to join Jesse Crosson, founder of Second Chancer Foundation on a cruise November 18th-22nd, sailing out of Miami, Florida. A portion of each ticket sold will go to support Second Chancer Foundation and the work we’re doing. We look forward to the chance to meet people, talk about our work and find new ways to serve communities by helping provide a second chance. Cabins can be booked by calling Jeanette at Ready Go Travel – (432)308-0726. We also have a raffle fundraiser for a premium balcony cabin donated by Baillie & Associates Wealth Management. Tickets are $10 each and all proceeds go to support Second Chancer Foundation. You can buy your ticket here.

At Second Chancer Foundation we are focused on bridging the gap between incarceration and opportunity. This means working with other leaders and groups doing the same – as the proverb says, if you want to go fast, go alone. If you want to go far, go together.

Thank you to each of the dozens of groups and individuals we have met with over the past months. We look forward to all the things we will accomplish together.

Thank you Antwon Brinson, Sincere Allah, Lorenzo Collins, Eddie Howard and Martize Tolbert for coming to speak at our monthly leadership series at BRJD! Your experiences have really made a difference for the kids. The challenges you have all faced, and shared openly, as well as the ways you have over come them has given the kids a roadmap and motivation to do something different and build a life outside of what they have known and imagined.
