Mission Statement

Malon's Project, Inc. is dedicated to empowering youth, particularly those with ADHD, by fostering creativity and growth through the cultivation of core values: honesty, humility, gratitude, objectivity, compassion, responsibility, open-mindedness, and willingness. We provide a supportive space where adolescents can explore their potential, learn non-violent conflict resolution, and develop leadership skills. Through workshops, events, and educational resources, we help young people overcome ADHD-related challenges, break down stereotypes, and build a community grounded in respect and personal growth.

Dear Friends,

As we close out 2025, we wanted to share the incredible impact you helped make possible this year. Please see the attached Year in Review highlighting our programs, partnerships, and the young people we served.

We're especially excited to share two recent highlights:

Hampton Holly Days Parade - Watch Mal Defender bring ADHD awareness to the streets of Hampton!

Hampton Holiday Parade see pictures below!

Human Slots Machine - Our innovative new fundraiser that's fun, interactive, and helps fund our programs! Participants spin to win prizes while supporting youth with ADHD. It's been a hit at community events and we're bringing it to more locations in 2026.

Malons Project's Chess Tournament

Malons Project's Chess Tournament

Malons Project, in partnership with North Phoebus Community Center, recently hosted an exciting double elimination Chess Tournament alongside Faith Walkers Chess Club of Williamsburg and Hampton University Chess Club. The event drew an impressive turnout, with players and supporters filling the room with great energy and competitive spirit. Between matches, the crowd was treated to extra fun courtesy of the Malons Project Human Slots Machine — always a crowd favorite!

When the dust settled, the tournament crown went to Emily, a soft-spoken competitor who proved that quiet determination is a force to be reckoned with.

Congratulations to Emily and all the talented players who participated!

The excitement doesn't stop there — Malons Project will be offering Chess Classes this Summer, and registration is now open! Visit our website for upcoming dates and details. We hope to see you on the board!
