The Barrett-Peake Heritage Foundation mourns the passing of board member Dr. Ralph "Butch" Heath
We mourn the loss of Foundation Board Member, Dr. Ralph 'Butch' Heath. Dr. Heath was a consummate community developer. He was chairman of the city of Hampton Redevelopment and Housing Authority. He also served on the Board of Directors at the Y. H. Thomas Youth Center, Hampton Equal Opportunity Commission and Hampton Planning Commission. A huge loss to the community, we will miss his benevolence and wisdom in planning and preservation.
Board members Richard and Nancy Moore receive the Clean City Commission award on behalf of the Foundation.
This is the second time the Foundation received this award from the City of Hampton.
Each May — National Historic Preservation Month — Preservation Virginia releases a list of historic places across the Commonwealth facing imminent or sustained threats. The list, which has brought attention to 170 sites in Virginia, encourages individuals, organizations, and local and state governments to advocate for their preservation and find solutions that will save these unique locations for future generations. The program has a track record of success. Only 10% of the sites listed so far were lost to demolition or neglect.
Your gift through the Dominion Energy Charity Classic's Birdies for Charity program presented by TowneBank means that the organization you select will receive your gift plus an additional 10%.
Each PGA TOUR tournament is an opportunity to give back to your community in one of three ways – attending an event, volunteering, or donating money. Not-for-profit tournaments under the PGA TOUR umbrella donate their net proceeds to support local organizations, totaling more than $3.64 billion in donations to date. These tournaments wouldn’t be possible without the 100,000 volunteers annually who commit their time to ensure each event is a success.

Our vision for the historic Federation House is to create a 1920s museum and cultural center for the community. We aim to keep the history of African Americans alive in the city of Hampton.
