The Montgomery County Family Justice Center Foundation mourns the loss of Cheryl Kravitz, a valued former board member and longtime advisor whose strength, warmth, and voice made a lasting impact on our organization and community.
Cheryl was fun, fearless, and deeply committed to helping others. As a survivor and advocate, she shared her strength and passion generously, using her voice to raise awareness and inspire courage in others. She served on the MCFJCF Board of Directors for many years and continued to support the Foundation as a trusted member of our advisory board.
We are deeply grateful for Cheryl’s years of service, leadership, and friendship. She will be greatly missed by all who knew her. Our thoughts are with her family and loved ones during this difficult time.

The DC Fencers Club’s annual fundraiser tournament, carrying on a tradition that began 14 years ago. Originating as a fencer’s bar mitzvah project, it has blossomed into a philanthropic endeavor led by high school fencers dedicated to supporting local causes. Over the years, the funds raised have made a difference in various areas, from supporting anti-bullying initiatives to aiding other community support efforts. This year, we’re excited to announce that the fundraiser will be benefiting the MCFJC Foundation, which aids victims of teen dating violence (TDV). Join us for the epee and sabre tournament and be a part of making a positive impact in our community!

We are dedicated to ending violence and abuse of all ages and promoting healing after abuse.
The Montgomery County Family Justice Center Foundation (MCFJC Foundation) raises awareness and provides support to victims of power-based violence, including domestic violence, elder abuse, and teen dating violence. We strengthen services at the Family Justice Center (FJC) by removing barriers that prevent victims from accessing assistance and ensuring their safety. Our work promotes healing and fosters healthy relationships for victims and their children.
