Leave a Legacy Gift

Chop’s Teen Club was founded by a legacy gift from Charles “Chop” DeMeo, who left the bulk of his estate in 1995 to create a safe and productive space for local teens. His vision of providing opportunities for personal growth continues today, and you can be part of this lasting impact by making a planned gift. Planned gifts allow you to contribute to the future of Chop’s Teen Club in a significant way, while also enjoying financial or tax benefits. Your gift helps ensure that Chop’s remains a place of opportunity for generations to come. To start a conversation, please reach out to our Development Director, Angela Sanville at (707) 284-2467 x116 or angelas@chopsteenclub.org.

Judy Fromm Scholarship Fund

The Judy Fromm Scholarship Fund ensures that every teen in Sonoma County has access to Chop’s programs, regardless of financial ability. Established in memory of Judy Fromm, a long-time supporter and Board member, this fund honors her commitment to empowering local youth. Judy believed so strongly in our programs that she thought everyone should have the opportunity to participate and had a particular fondness for our Work-Ready program. Your donation to this fund helps keep her legacy alive, offering teens the chance to grow, learn, and thrive at Chop’s.
