TULSA, Okla. — The Terence Crutcher Foundation will convene members of the Tulsa community and leading police reform advocates from across the US for a day of service and gala on Saturday, Sept. 16 marking seven years since Terence Crutcher was killed by former Tulsa Police Department officer Betty Shelby.
The foundation was launched in the aftermath of Terence’s death to create just and liberated communities free from violence and harm.
The commemorative events will kick off at 10 a.m, CT with a resource fair event at North Pointe Business Center. The Terence Crutcher Foundation is developing the center as part of a plan to bring economic revitalization to the predominantly Black, under-resourced neighborhood of North Tulsa.
