Jimmy Raye Youth Foundation
American youth education foundation
The Jimmy Raye Youth Foundation is an American organization started by football coach Jimmy Raye II with his friend Ronald "Chase" Chalmers as a means of benefiting underprivileged children in the Cumberland County area of North Carolina. It was incorporated in Wake County in 1998. The two joined their efforts to provide college scholarships to local students as well as cover registration fees for recreational sports. Each year, a luncheon is held to raise funds for the foundation and allow the local community to meet current and former NFL stars. At the conclusion of the luncheon, a free football clinic is held for the attending children and is directed by Raye as well as the attending past and present NFL players. The criteria for selecting a scholar recipient are determined by Chalmer's three children. While the scholarship is intended to provide an opportunity for a young person to attend college, academic performance and integrity are highly important as the foundation tries to enhance the success of adolescents in the Fayetteville, North Carolina, community.
Mission
The mission of the Jimmy Raye Youth Foundation is to provide educational opportunities to identified "at-risk" adolescents that will enhance their ability to successfully function in society and positively impact the social and physical environment.

Why this record matters
The phrase “american youth education foundation” supplies a clear boundary for inquiry. It also exposes the unanswered questions: who defined that boundary, when it became stable and which sources sit outside it.
Named sources, stable identifiers and responsible institutions provide the strongest route from overview to verifiable evidence. The source revision retrieved here is dated May 30, 2026. The linked authority identifier is Q6201123. 1 of 1 selected statements include explicit references; 0 carry qualifiers and 0 use preferred rank. The first chronological checks are 1998, 2003, 2004 and 2005.
Overview language is designed for orientation and should not be treated as a substitute for the evidence cited beneath it. The lead is largely declarative, so disagreement and counter-evidence require a deliberate search beyond the opening account. Authority statements aid reconciliation but still require their own references, qualifiers and ranks to be checked.
