This foundation is a non-profit, voluntary organization
dedicated to reducing the incidence and effects of violence by promoting development of healthy children and families and
to providing scholarships that encourage personal growth through community involvement.
Our goal is to closely partner with selected
organizations whose efforts reduce violence and to provide seed money which can truly make a difference to the person or program.
We have awarded grants to several organizations.

In March, 1990 Anne was brutally murdered
by a stranger as she walked from her apartment to the Metro In Arlington, Virginia. She was planning to meet friends
to celebrate her 23rd birthday. To commemorate the tenth anniversary of Anne’s
death, her friends and family gathered at a Celebration of Hope at the Museum of Our National Heritage on April 8, 2000 to
have a community celebration to honor Anne’s life and legacy. From this
event was born “In Anne’s Spirit”.
