“It’s about getting the family ready for a new school year,” said Chuck Gray, president of Infinity Counseling Group based in Norfolk. “Everyone needs to be on board.”

Gray will represent Infinity Counseling Group, which offers services to at-risk youth and their families, at the Back-to-School Prep Rally at the Virginia Beach Convention Center on Saturday.

“The goal is to be out in the community and giving guidance to the children,” said Gray who is also a board member of 2nd Act Communities, an organization that works to create affordable housing and support services for communities in Hampton Roads. “We want to be a role model for the children and give them hope for the future.”
