Our Inspiration
1955-1998
Vanessa D. Jones was a hard-working, loving, charismatic, intelligent, resourceful, fun, (but no nonsense) mother. She was a proud graduate of Andrew Jackson High School-Class of 1973. She worked tirelessly to give her children better opportunities than those that were available to her. She believed that education in all forms (college, trade/vocational school, military) coupled with hard work would lead to a better life. The Foundation will honor her memory by investing in the future of our youth, just as she did for her children.
