What sets this walk apart is its profoundly personal route. The path we will take mirrors the very same journey Jayz made each day, walking from his school (Benjamin Stoddert Middle School) to his home. By retracing his steps, we honor his memory and underscore the need for safe environments for our children as they pursue their education and dreams.

By participating in the Community Gun Violence Awareness Walk, you will:

• Show support for families affected by gun violence.

• Help raise awareness about the impact of gun violence in our communities.

• Contribute to the ongoing efforts of the Jayz Agnew Foundation to provide mentorship, educational support, and safe spaces for at-risk teens.

Whether you’re walking in memory of someone, supporting the cause, or making a difference, your presence matters; let’s come together and turn our collective pain into purpose, creating a safer, more hopeful future for our youths.

We cannot pull this event off without our amazing volunteers! Needed roles this year will include, but are not limited to the following: Registration, Materials Distribution, Food & Beverage, Route Sweeper, People Movers, Route Leads, and Warm-Up Lead.

We are seeking local businesses and companies to partner with us in the Gun Violence Awareness movement! For your financial sponsorship of any dollar amount, we will highlight your business, services and/or goods at our event, and feature you on our website and social media platforms.

Can't Walk With Us? You Can Still Support the Cause!

If you're unable to join the Community Gun Violence Awareness Walk on November 16, 2024, you can still play a crucial role in making a difference. Your donation will directly support the event's mission to raise awareness, honor Jayz’s memory, and fund programs that help prevent gun violence in our communities.
