Byron Serves as President of the Foundation. 

From a young age, I have been called to leadership, ministry, and service. My close friendship with Maxumus Isaiah Fraser, whom I knew since sixth grade, deeply shaped my life. Max was a bright, compassionate, and entrepreneurial spirit, and his passing inspired me to establish The To The Max Foundation. This Foundation honors his life and values, promoting hope, growth, and encouragement for young people. With the support of Max’s family, friends, and the community, we continue his legacy. In addition to leading the Foundation, I serve as Minister in Charge of Revival Church – Baltimore, formerly Youth Praise Ministries, where Max also served as a Trustee, remaining committed to faith, service, and meaningful impact.

        Elizabeth Serves as Secretary of the Foundation. 

My passion for leadership, community, and service began early in my life and has only grown stronger over time. I met Max in middle school, and our relationship quickly became one like brother and sister. He had a natural drive for business, a deep care for people, and a gift for bringing others together. Watching the way he moved through life inspired me to pursue work that focuses on wellness, growth, and giving back. After his passing, I felt a responsibility to continue the impact he started. Through The To The Max Foundation, I am committed to serving our community, supporting young people, and creating spaces where encouragement, opportunity, and purpose can thrive, all in honor of Max’s legacy.

        Valerie Serves as Financial Secretary of the Foundation. 

I serve as an Executive Board Member of the To The Max Foundation, an organization created and dedicated in the loving memory of my son and my king, Maxumus I. Fraser. This foundation represents the continuation of Max’s vision, a vision rooted in compassion, resilience, and the belief that no young person should feel alone or afraid to speak up about their mental health. At a remarkably young age, Max showed wisdom far beyond his years. His strength, generosity, and genuine love for others left a lasting impression on everyone who knew him. He had an extraordinary ability to see people for who they were and to uplift those who were struggling. It is my honor to carry his spirit forward and to ensure that his legacy continues to create safe spaces, open conversations, and meaningful support for youth facing mental health challenges. My commitment to this foundation is deeply personal. I am passionate about advocating for young people who suffer in silence, those who feel unheard, misunderstood, or fearful of asking for help. Through honesty, empathy, and action, I am dedicated to breaking the stigma surrounding mental illness and helping youth recognize their worth, strength, and voice. Professionally, I bring over 30 years of experience in banking and leadership, with a strong background in strategic planning, financial oversight, governance, and organizational development. I have led teams, managed complex operations, and upheld the highest standards of integrity and accountability. These skills allow me to contribute meaningfully to the foundation’s sustainability, growth, and long term impact. Serving on the board of the To The Max Foundation is more than a role. It is a promise to honor Maxumus, to protect his legacy, and to help transform pain into purpose by supporting youth mental health with compassion, courage, and unwavering dedication.
