Over $600,000 invested in PURE youth. ๐ช๐พ
On Friday, PURE Academy was proud to host Congressman Steve Cohen and Mayor Paul Young as part of the City of Memphis Youth Violence Prevention Initiative, a partnership with PURE Academy and Heal 901 focused on mentorship, mental health, conflict resolution, and opportunity.
This is what it looks like when a community shows up for its young men.
Every dollar. Every program. Every student. It matters.

We are beyond grateful. ๐
The 3rd Annual PURE Academy Golf Tournament at Chickasaw Country Club was a beautiful day, sunny skies, wonderful people, and the kind of community support that reminds us why this work matters.
Our PURE students were on hand at check-in and through lunch, meeting our generous golfers and sponsors face to face. Seeing those connections happen in real time is what itโs all about.
Weโre still finalizing the numbers, but weโre excited to share that we raised approximately $25,000 in support of PUREโs student-athletes.
Thank you to every golfer, sponsor, and supporter who made last Monday possible. We couldnโt do this without you, and our young men are better for it.
