TALLAHASSEE, FL, UNITED STATES, April 28, 2025 /EINPresswire.com/ -- The Jack Brewer Foundation (JBF), in partnership with NWF Health Network, hosted an impactful dinner reception in Tallahassee, FL, to celebrate Second Chance Month and highlight efforts to reduce recidivism in Florida. The event highlighted Florida’s groundbreaking efforts to reduce recidivism and honored State Representative Danny Alvarez with the JBF Second Chance Award for his leadership in criminal justice reform.

Rep. Alvarez, Chairman of the Florida Criminal Justice Committee, delivered remarks emphasizing the critical role of second chance programs in transforming lives and strengthening communities. Alvarez said that he had personally witnessed the impact of JBF’s 2nd Chance Fathers relief efforts in Steinhatchee, FL following the destruction of Hurricanes Milton and Helene.

A highlight of the evening was a panel discussion featuring JBF’s 2nd Chance Fathers: Elmo Golden, Stedmund Anthony, Johnnie Jeter, and Andra Robinson.

“The Jack Brewer Foundation is committed to breaking the cycle of incarceration through rehabilitation and opportunity,” said Jack Brewer, Founder of JBF. “We are proud to honor Rep. Alvarez and to amplify the voices of our 2nd Chance Fathers, whose stories are a testament to the power of second chances.”

The event emphasized Florida’s leadership in criminal justice reform and the collaborative efforts of JBF, NWF Health Network, and state leaders to create pathways for successful reentry.
