In Loving Memory

Chavon Moore “Chach”

A Prom, A Legacy, A Promise

Chavon “Chach” Moore was a radiant spirit—deeply loved as a daughter, cousin, and friend. Her life was tragically cut short by teen dating violence just weeks before her senior prom.

To honor her life and carry forward her light, Chach’s family now sponsors a full prom experience each year for a deserving young woman in Newark. From the dress and shoes to hair, makeup, and photography, this heartfelt gift is a tribute to Chach’s joy—and a promise that her story will not be forgotten.

💜 In 2025, one of the young women from The Campbell House was selected to receive this unforgettable honor.

Her legacy lives on in every smile, every dance, and every girl who walks into prom knowing she matters.

Read her story and help us carry Chach’s memory forward.
