TEARS, Inc. was founded in 1996 by Mrs. Angelia
C. Walton. She built the platform of TEARS
through HIV/AIDS education to local churches and
schools. In September of 1997 the organization
received 501(c) (3)non-profit status.
Over the past few years, we have had the
privilege of working with young people of all kinds
of backgrounds. We, along with our volunteers,
have seen first hand just how much one
encouraging word or deed can truly affect the
lives of others in a positive and powerful way.
This has always been the driving force behind
our phenomenal growth and continued support
from our board members, donors, and volunteers.
