Mission Statement
A youth program looking to reinforce education, decrease violence and encourage healthy lifestyles while inspiring individuals to work at continuously building their communities regardless of social or economic boundaries.
About This Cause
Founded in September 2011 in the wake of the tragic killing of 17 year old Billy Ray Shirley, III in late August of 2011, our vision is to build and maintain a fully functional state of the art community center on the east side of Tacoma that gives life to Billy Ray’s vision of having a fun, healthy & safe place for youth to go. This facility shall be one that will provide the programs and resources necessary to engage youth in conversation and activities that will promote positive life choices. Through government and community partnerships, construction of the Eastside Community Center has completed and successfully opened its doors on October 20, 2018 (operated by MetroParks Tacoma). Subsequently, the Billy Ray Shirley III Foundation, a non-profit 501(c)3 has moved to its next phase of community center work by offering youth and family programming that looks to reinforce education, decrease violence and encourage healthy lifestyles while inspiring individuals to work at continuously building their communities regardless of social or economic boundaries.
