The Katie Brown Educational Program (KBEP) was founded in early
2001 in response to the murder of Katherine Brown, a 20-year-old
woman from Barrington, Rhode Island. Katie was killed by the
young man she had dated off and on since high school.
To memorialize and honor Katie's life, KBEP is dedicated to the recognition
and prevention of relationship violence through innovative, interactive
educational initiatives. KBEP promotes respectful relationships and provides
alternatives to violent behaviors.
