ABOUT US

On August 9, 2014, Michael Brown, Jr. was brutally murdered by a police officer in Ferguson, Missouri. His untimely death shook America to its core, causing pivotal shifts within the Black community that ignited community organizations and change agents to fight for the injustice black people face against police brutality.

Michael Brown, Sr. decided to turn his pain into purpose by creating the “Chosen For Change Foundation” which was born in loving memory of Michael Brown, Jr. Grief isn’t a linear process; but with the help of his wife Cal Brown, they have been able to provide community support, outreach programs, activities, and events that are responsive, reflective, and holistic for families affected by, or at risk of becoming and/or experiencing grief resulting from the loss of a child due to a tragic unforeseen circumstance.
