Chloe Randolph Organization's Butterfly Run/Walk 5K Registration

Since opening its doors in 2020, the Chloe Randolph Organization has been a source of hope for individuals in abusive relationships who feel they have nowhere else to turn. Like all non-profit organizations, it relies on donations from the public to continue its mission. Those donations are collected through both in-person and online donations throughout the year, as well as events the organization puts together such as its first-ever Butterfly Run/Walk 5K happening later this month.

Inspiration Born From Tragedy

In March 2019, Chloe Randolph was found dead in the Henderson apartment she shared with her husband, Mohamud Abdikadir, and their son, who was 9-months-old at the time. Police found her body in the closet with visible signs of head trauma and "a deep cut to her neck." Her husband was arrested and charged with her murder. He confessed to the crime a few weeks later and after several continuances and rescheduled court dates, pleaded guilty to that charge along with two charges of tampering with evidence back in September 2021. He is currently serving a 20-year prison sentence.

Determined not to let Chloe become another statistic, her parents and close friends saw her tragic death as motivation to help others in dangerous relationships. A major step in their journey took place in October 2020 with the opening of The Chloe Randolph Organization Advocacy Center in downtown Henderson.

The Center offers the following services free of charge and fully confidential:

Crisis Intervention
Case Management
Court Advocacy
Community Awareness
Temporary Shelter
Support Groups
Educational Classes
Community Resources
