The Chris S. Owens Foundation

The Chris S. Owens Foundation THE CHRIS S. OWENS FOUNDATION is a 501 c(3) non-profit organization created in the name and honor of 13 year old Chris S. Owens, who was shot April 26 2009

Owens, who was shot April 26, 2009 by a stray bullet in Harlem, New York. Taken off life support a week later at St. Luke's Hospital he was officially pronounced dead. Chris Foye, father of 13 year old Chris S. Owens and President and Founder of THE CHRIS S. OWENS FOUNDATION made a decision to extend his son's legacy and make a positive impact on at risk youth and young adults to end the culture

of gun violence in his son's name and honor. The Chris S. Owens Foundation believes it can and will change the culture of gun violence, negative youth images and the mind set of a community deeply effected by guns and lack of resources with positive alternative to gun violence. In addition to being a communications major at College of New Rochelle’s (SNR), Chris has been honored with the Serviam and Newman Civic Fellows Award for his community leadership, civic learning engagement programs and events by a coalition of Universities and Colleges Nationwide. Chris' philosophy: “Ending Gun Violence Starts with You!”

The Chris S. Owens Foundation designed its programs to advance the quality of life for our participants and the community via education, awareness and career opportunities via our internship training programs. We have partnered with community base non-profit organizations and businesses to encourage support and community activism amongst the youth via our sports program, annual charity events and scholarship awards to students who qualify based on qualified GPA and Progress Reports.
