Sewell Point Supports The Launch of the "Bet On Me" Foundation in Arizona

  

Founded by Jayneé “Dolly” Benavidez, the Bet on ME Foundation is proud to launch its programs in Arizona, empowering families and children through sports, mentorship, and community support. This foundation is to Honor her Children: DáMarkus Austyn Benavidez, Kingstyn Alexander Benavidez & ZáRyah Jordan Benavidez.   By purchasing tickets for the Arizona Cardinals game, you are directly contributing to life-changing programs that provide:

  • Family Support & Reconnection (PI Services) – Helping families locate and reconnect with loved ones, restoring relationships that have been strained or separated.
  • Mental Health & Wellness Programs – Offering counseling, coaching, and guidance to promote emotional resilience for children and parents alike.
  • Legal Aid & “Say Yes to Second Chances” Initiatives – Supporting individuals who have faced legal challenges to rebuild their lives and access new opportunities.
  • No Student Left Behind Initiative – Ensuring every child has access to education, tutoring, and sports programs, no matter their background or circumstances.
  • Youth Sports & Coaching Programs – Funding leagues, training, and mentorship opportunities so children can grow, thrive, and experience the joy of team sports.

The launch in Arizona is made even more special with the presence of Juan Sewell, founder of Sewell Point in Chicago, Illinois, who will join to support Co-Founder Jayneé Benavidez. “She has created a lot of the programs, and we are thrilled to see what she does next! It’s an honor to watch her save lives and bring hope,” he says. Her testimony and dedication serve as the foundation for real change and inspiration for the entire community.

The Bet on ME Foundation believes that no child should grow up believing they were abandoned—because the truth is, they were loved all along. By supporting this event, you’re helping create opportunities, strengthen families, and build a future full of hope, achievement, and connection.

Sewell Point Statement Regarding Tucson Water Contamination

Recent reports confirm that Tucson's water supply has been contaminated with per- and polyfluoroalkyl substances (PFAS), chemicals linked to the former Davis-Monthan Air Force Base. PFAS contamination poses significant health risks, including potential links to cancer, liver damage, and immune system dysfunction. The ongoing lawsuit, citing the Air Force's responsibility for the contamination, highlights the severity of this issue.

Given the established presence of PFAS in Tucson's water and the potential health hazards, Sewell Point recognizes the urgent need for clean, safe water for affected families and individuals. Independent testing has shown levels of PFAS exceeding some health advisory limits.

We call upon fellow businesses, organizations, and individuals with resources and funding to join us in a collective effort to provide quality, safe, and clean water to our community and constituents in Tucson. This is not just a legal matter; it's a humanitarian one. We must come together to ensure the health and well-being of our neighbors. Sewell Point commits to supporting this vital cause and encourages others to do the same.

Key Factual Points:

  • PFAS Contamination: The water supply has been contaminated with PFAS, linked to the Air Force base.
  • Health Risks: PFAS exposure is associated with serious health risks.
  • Legal Action: A lawsuit is in progress, indicating the severity of the contamination.
  • Testing Results: Independent testing has confirmed the presence of PFAS at concerning levels.

Mr. Sewell thank you for everything. When I came to you all I have a First Degree Murder and UUW gun convictions on my background. This was a great obstacle in my life, especially attempting to live life on life’s terms productively. This was my last chance. Your guidance and resources moved me towards Greater Chicago Legal Aid. What I am so grateful for is that you stuck with me step by step to accomplish my First-Degree Murder and UUW are sealed.  This program works, I recommend this program for all who are seeking expungement and sealing, I am a living witness.  It took you, Mr. Sewell and Greater Chicago Legal Aids’ commitment to accomplish this unbelievable feat. I cannot stress the importance of having the correct mitigation letters in which you all kept stressing.  I, my wife, my family and friends are ever so grateful. I can go after my dreams without that little nagging fear of my background. It took faith, belief in God and Mr. Sewell. Thank you for your support, patience, kindness, and legal knowledge for my freedom at last.
