Curvin B. Chance Foundation

Although I cannot support every single cause that I believe in, there are some that hit close to home, that I must assist in achieving its goals.  One in particular, is The Curvin B. Chance Foundation, Inc. Not only is one of my dearest childhood friends, Michi Everett, the Vice-President, but it was started in memory of her brother-in-law; a man whom I have always admired.

My fondest memories of him include two things - his passion for education, and his strong sense of family values.  I remember many weekends in my teenage years of “my crew” wanting to hang out, but having to wait for Michi and others to finish their Saturday learning sessions that Chance had set up to expand their learning beyond their schools’ classroom.  He was also one of the major driving forces behind Michi’s pursuit of higher education, and graduating from Spelman College.  When I visited Atlanta to attend the graduation, I recall Chance insisting that we all sit down and eat dinner together every night, and discuss each person’s day, as well as current event.

Having the privilege to know such a man personally, it is no question why I choose to support a foundation in his namesake.  Although I am unable to attend the annual scholarship fundraising soiree, I am doing my part to spread the word, and help get others involved.  Click th link to find out ways in which you can support the organization.

FYI: The Curvin B. Chance Foundation, Inc. is a non-profit scholarship organization that has been established in loving memory of Curvin.  A memory that encompasses so much to so many each and every day in all aspects of our lives.  It is in his honor and his caring spirit that we offer this opportunity.
