Alajawan Brown Foundation Dba Alajawan's Hands

The purpose of the Alajawan Brown Foundation is to continually expand the work started in the spirit of 12 year old Alajawan Brown who selflessly gave of himself, his time, and resources ? just to make a difference in the most important aspect of his community: PEOPLE. Before the Foundation formally existed, the community was brought together for the Alajawan Brown Community Family Reunion. This reunion took place April 29, 2012 at 7-Eleven, the date and place of his demise. During this fun and love-filled event, ?family members? from all walks of life enjoyed live entertainment, barbeque, mashed potatoes, corn, and string beans. Sam?s Club donated bottled water, while Titu, the then owner of 7-Eleven provided small fountain drinks. It was then, that Louis and Ayanna Brown, Alajawan?s parents, announced their desire to carry on their son?s legacy by starting the Foundation. Since then, Alajawan's Hands has provided free tutoring; has established scholarships for kids to attend camps or play sports; and hosts three annual signature community-building events.
