The Dannon Project

The Dannon Project was founded by Jeh Jeh Pruitt and his wife, Kerri Pruitt, in 1999. The organization was named after Dannon Pruitt, Jeh Jeh’s youngest brother, who was killed by a person that had been recently released from prison for a non-violent offense. Kerri believed that if this young man would have had a strong support system after his release he probably would have made better choices. He would have used his time more wisely, maybe preventing Dannon’s death. The Dannon Project obtained non-profit status in October 2003. It was established to help unemployed or underemployed persons in transition, at-risk youth and adults, both male and female, and specifically non-violent offenders reentering society, especially those with addictions on the road to recovery.
