Congratulations to OPHELIA Founder and Chairman Jameece Pinckney on Receiving the Prestigious Vera Bradley Award!
The OPHELIA Foundation is a 501(c)(3) nonprofit organization established to promote and aid charitable, educational and humanitarian activities, with a special emphasis on those activities that improve the lives of youth, families and communities.

To further support our youth, we established our scholarship program to help high school seniors fulfill their higher education goals.
