In Honor Of CHRIS SHAKIM OWENS
APRIL 26, 1995 — MAY 03, 2009

THE CHRIS S. OWENS FOUNDATION is a 501(c)(3) non-profit organization created in the name and honor of 13 year old Chris Shakim Owens, who was shot and killed April 26, 2009 by a stray bullet in Harlem, New York, and placed on life support. Tragically, after a week of fighting for his life, Chris Shakim Owens was led to rest May 03, 2009. His father, Chris Foye, refused to let his son's death be just another statistic. Every program, every partnership, every life touched by this Foundation is a living tribute to Chris Shakim Owens.

The Chris S. Owens Foundation was born from a father's unimaginable loss — and his unwavering commitment to make sure no other family suffers the same pain.
