This event Honoured the men who Mr. Murphy collaborate with while achieving the mission of The Tayshana “Chicken” Murphy Foundation. Males who are standing despite the pain were HONOURED today.
The Tayshana “Chicken” Murphy Foundation was formed in honor and loving memory of Tayshana Dejenea “Chicken” Murphy. Tayshana was a high school basketball star and basketball playground legend who on the early morning of September 11th met her physical demise by two executioners. The reason for creating this foundation is to add on her legacy in which her spirit will live forever as well as serve at risk teens likely to be victims of violence.
Mr. Murphy felt that that getting his family and close friends involved would help him touch more lives in the community. With the help of family and friends the foundation is creating youth support programs and support other organizations who have similar programs to serve our young people in communities across New York City and eventually the Nation.
