The Sammy D Foundation works to prevent youth violence through education and mentorship programs here in Australia.

This May marks 17 years since Sam's tragic death, and in his memory, venues across the country will donate a portion of each schnitzel sold to the foundation.

Neil Davis, the founder of the Sammy D Foundation, told Bill McDonald on 4BC Mornings, "We're trying to arm young people with the skills to recognise these violent situations and be able to walk away to grab their mates and say, come on, let's go."

"They can go back tomorrow, and for our son, there's no more tomorrows."
