I am writing on behalf of RESET INC to request your support for our "Strike out youth violence" bowling event. Our organization is full of Hampton Road natives, from our volunteers, board members, participants, sponsors, and donors. Our goal is to give back and make a noticeable difference in the lives of families from underserved communities. We strive to be better than we were the day before and we take pride in our outreach which holds us accountable and keeps us focused on the mission. We make sound decisions and act with purpose in every outreach opportunity we host or participate in. We are the change that we want to see. If a monetary donation is not available...We would like to request 2-4 travel vouchers as in-kind donations.
In 2022, children between the ages of 11-17 made up 13% of violent offenders in Virginia. This was an increase from the 10% it had been in 2021. In 2022 over 17% of auto thefts were done by people under the age of 18 years old. The Hampton Roads community needs youth intervention. Statistics show that there has been a rise in youth gang violence, youth murders, and increased juvenile detention rates. This has contributed to the lack of programs for youth and safe places for youth to go. The lack of funding, youth centers, transportation, and hunger has led many youths to stray.
According to the National Center for Injury Prevention and Control, youth violence is linked to negative health and well-being outcomes and disproportionately impacts communities of color. Violence increases the risk for behavioral and mental health difficulties which include: (1) future violence perpetration, (2) future violence victimization, (3) smoking, (4) substance abuse, (5) obesity, (6) high-risk sexual behavior, (7) depression, (8) academic difficulties/school dropouts, and (9) suicide.This is our first time requesting support from Pfizer and we are expecting an audience of over 200+.
