Gun violence doesn’t just take lives — it steals classrooms, focus, and futures.

In PA and Camden County, our kids miss weeks of school after crises shake whole communities. Too many African American seniors fall behind because life hit hard, not because they lacked potential.

That’s why I created the Craig D. Butler Scholarship — to restore opportunity with tuition support, mentorship, and real resources that help students rebuild and stay on track.

TBT to the Pastor Pam scholarship prank 😂

Our applications can be emotional given our mission…but clips like this keep my spirit lifted!

Some people only get the life they have because somebody opened the door - parents with money, a spouse with stability, a family safety net to fall back on. And that’s beautiful for them.

But when you’ve had to get it on the muscle… when every win, every promotion, every degree, every business, every key to every home came from your grind, your discipline, your faith, and your resilience?

It hits different.
It feels different.
It means different.

Salute to everybody building a life they weren’t handed — brick by brick, blessing by blessing, step by step. 🫡

We’re leveling up our Back‑to‑School partnership this year!  ✏️📚📓

As we’ve served families across the region, we’ve met so many incredible autistic children whose brilliance lights up every event. So this year, we’re adding something special to our CDB Scholar Essentials Swag Pack — our “Future CDB Scholar” stress balls designed to support focus, reduce anxiety, and provide sensory input.

A small tool with a big impact.
A reminder that every child deserves to feel calm, confident, and seen.
We can’t wait to put these in the hands of our future scholars. 🎓

🎓College students, listen up — your summer job might be holding a BAG you didn’t even know about.

A lot of companies offer scholarships, tuition assistance, or education grants for their employees… but most students never check.

Before summer ends and you’re back in class, ask your job if they offer any education benefits. You’d be surprised how many do.

Here are a few companies already supporting college students:

UPS& Chipotle Mexican Grill— tuition reimbursement and up to $5,000 per year
The Home Depot — covers 50% of tuition, books, registration fees, plus up to $1,500 in tuition reimbursement

And if your job doesn’t offer anything — don’t stress! You can still secure the bag with my CDB Scholarship Monthly Planner (College Edition), packed with scholarships, deadlines, and tools to help you stay organized and get PAID for your education💰

Closed mouths don’t get fed. Ask the question. Apply for the money. Build your future brick by brick.

This year knocked me down in ways I never saw coming.

But healing reminded me of what my nonprofit teaches every day — you can rebuild. Brick by brick, you rise again.

Me at 9am: “Starting a nonprofit is beautiful, fulfilling, purpose-driven work.”

Me at 9:07am: Viola Davis

Me at 9:12am: “Anyway…back to the grind.”

Nonprofit founders are built different.
Because the work don’t stop and the mission is bigger than my meltdown.
