Press Release - June 2023

The Buck Squad is thrilled to announce a donation of $50,000 from an anonymous donor through the Greater Washington Community Foundation.  We are so grateful to this donor for recognizing the underfunded but critical work done by the Buck Squad to reduce gun violence through a preventative approach that directly supports local youth in our community.  We encourage the Charlottesville community, the City of Charlottesville, the University of Virginia, and local Charlottesville foundations and philanthropists to join us at this significant moment of need due to increased gun violence and help the Buck Squad to expand its reach into other high-risk areas impacted by gun violence in our community. The youth in our community need your investment now before we experience another unnecessary and preventable loss.
