Our Board Member, Jacob Qualls, knows a thing or two about defying the odds. Jacob Qualls is a survivor who lost one of his lungs as a teenager. Despite his challenges, he’s training to run the 2026 Chicago Marathon on Sunday, October 11, 2026 in support of the Ezekiel Taylor Scholarship Foundation. Funds raised for the 501 c3 organization will provide scholarships and career programming for college-bound young Black men from Chicago, Illinois who have been impacted by gun violence.
