T.O.N.E is an organization founded after the loss of a beautiful being. It targets the youth, who face daily challenges that effect not only the choices they make in life but also their view on it. During the mid Summer of 2014, the life of Tony Darrell Hinton was cut short due to gun-violence. Tony, who was loved by many, including: family, friends and peers; continues to make his presence known even after his passing. The organization T.O.N.E (Toning Out Negative Energy) came about from the nickname Tone, given to him by his mother. Tony was essentially known for his laid-back demeanor, humble spirit, kind heart and willingness to protect and help those in need. Born October 26, 1992, Tony was nothing short of amazing. Excelling through all his years of school and obtaining his high school diploma, Tony has left an impact on all those he has come across. As a humble and dear friend, he was someone you could come to when you needed advice as well as the one to defuse problems. Tony loved to listen to music, watching sports, playing video-games, going shopping, being around family, and overall having a good time. His favorite colors, red and blue can be seen alongside his mother's (purple) in display of how close they were and the undying love she has for him. From his light chuckle to his charming smile, Tony was truly loved by all who knew him.
