Annual grants from the fund are designated to support the Division of Substance Abuse Services of Blue Ridge Community Services with a preference toward Hegira House, a long-term residential treatment program. Grants from the fund will enable clients of the agency to pursue educational opportunities that will increase their employability.
Jamison was an employee of Hegira House from March 1986 until February 1994. Throughout this time, he taught and modeled the importance of education as a factor in maintaining a drug-free life.
Anyone wishing to support the fund may send tax-deductible donations to: The Foundation for Roanoke Valley, P.O. Box 1159, Roanoke, Va. 24006.
The fund was established by Blue Ridge Community Services with memorial gifts received at the time of John Jamison's death together with additional gifts from his family in his honor and memory.
