The generous contributions of our sponsors supports this event and our mission is to empower teens and young adults to identify unhealthy relationship behaviors to promote healthy, sustainable relationships. This is done through our Teens For Courage (TFC), Voices4Courage, and Parents For Courage initiatives and programs. Courage Clubs, Workshops, and Summits address behaviors focused on preventing interpersonal violence centered on an intersectional approach that overlaps experiences based on gender, race, ethnicity, sexual orientation, age, and other factors.

We are proudly honoring CMPD Chief Johnny Jennings, Atrium Health Emergency Physician Dr. Jessica Salzman, and Community Advocates Ron and Jan Kimble for their dedicated championship in prevention.

Make General Donation

JKFFC's Annual Luncheon is our flagship educational and fundraising event to stop intimate partner violence before it begins. It is an opportunity for both men and women to hear about our mission, honor the pioneering work of prevention advocates, and learning the characteristics and warning signs of intimate partner violence. Victims work, live and play in our community and may not realize they are living in a dangerous situation, if they choose to stay in a toxic relationship.

The Jamie Kimble Foundation is dedicated to supporting the development of healthy, respectful, and nonviolent relationships while bringing awareness to unhealthy, abusive, or violent relationships. Our goal is to partner with communities, universities, teen groups and organizations and faith-based groups interested in raising awareness about teen dating violence and promoting safe, healthy relationships.
