Our Story

On the night of September 23, 2023, Blake Bozeman –- a successful businessman, an accomplished former college basketball player, devoted son, father, family member and beloved mentor — was tragically killed in a senseless act of gun violence while simply enjoying a night out with friends in Washington, D.C. Blake was more than a victim; he was a bright light in his community, known for his kindness, leadership, and commitment to uplifting others.

Losing Blake shattered not only his family, but an entire community that looked up to him.

The Blake Bozeman Foundation carries his legacy forward by turning heartbreak into purpose. This nonprofit purposefully fights for mental health awareness, educating communities about the impact of gun violence, and creating safe spaces for healing and hope. This mission is our way of ensuring that what happened to Blake inspires lasting change, rather than silence.
