"There are some stories that never fade, because they’re rooted in love, loss, and the legacy we choose to grow from them."
This space is sacred.
Here, we honor the lives that shaped The Campbell House. The ones whose strength became our soil. Whose light guides the work we do. And whose memory continues to move us, push us, and plant purpose in every girl we serve.
Our roots remind us of where we’ve been, so we can build a future that’s safer, more compassionate, and more whole.
In Loving Memory of Chavon “Chach” Moore
Her laughter had a rhythm all its own—bright, contagious, and impossible to forget. Her attitude? Bold, unapologetic, and magnetic. And her heart—wide open, full of love, full of promise. Chavon Lynnette Sharae Moore—known to her family and friends as “Chach”—was a force of light in the lives of everyone who knew her.
At just 16 years old, Chach was a young mother to a baby boy, who she loved fiercely, and dreamed of giving him the world. She was a big sister to her twin sisters, an adorning niece, a loyal friend, and that annoying yet loveable cousin everyone has. She was preparing for prom, ready to step into her next chapter, when her life was tragically taken on May 6th, 1995—as a victim of teenage domestic violence.
Back in 1995, there were not many safe havens like the Campbell House. Chach, like so many others, tried to keep the abuse hidden. When her loved ones discovered the truth, with the help of friends and family, she began the journey toward healing, courageously rebuilding her life. She was choosing herself. Choosing her son. Choosing to heal.
But on a fateful night in May 1995—darkness struck. A life full of light, promise, and laughter was gone far too soon.The pain of losing her is still heavy. But her story did not end there.
Over the years her cousin, Kim Moore Mitchell, has carried Chach’s memory forward with purpose. In Chach’s honor, Kim gifts young women something Chach never had the chance to experience: a magical prom night, full of beauty, confidence, and joy.
Deserving young women are chosen and celebrated. They are given the full glam experience—custom gowns, professional makeup, elegant accessories. The moment they slip into that gown, when the final zipper closes and they turn to the mirror and truly see themselves, something extraordinary happens. It's as if Chach is right there, smiling through them, whispering, You are worthy. You are radiant, shine, and always remember love should never hurt.
With every young woman who walks into her prom night feeling unstoppable—Chach lives on. She lives on not in tragedy, but in the power of love, remembrance, and transformation.

“We honor Chach by lifting someone up in her name. Because even though she’s gone, her joy is still here.”
Why We Speak Up
1 in 3 teens in the U.S. will experience physical, emotional, or verbal abuse from a dating partner.
Only 33% of them will ever tell anyone.
Young women between 16–24 are 3x more likely to experience intimate partner violence than any other group.
Homicide is one of the leading causes of death for pregnant and postpartum women in the U.S., often by partners.
Teen violence is real.
And so is our responsibility to interrupt it—with love, safety, and truth.
