Our Origin:
A Testament of Survivorship

The roots of Jackson 3 Foundation dig deep into a narrative of resilience, one that resonates with countless hearts.  On March 20, 2011, our world experienced a sudden and profound loss – a beloved father, friend, uncle, coach, and business owner departed untimely.  Yet, this narrative doesn’t revolve solely around  his absence; it stands as a testament to the invincible spirit of survivors he left behind.  His legacy finds life through his wife and three young children, age 10, 7, and 3 at that time.  

Their journey became the catalyst for the emergence of our foundation. 

Honoring Legacy Through Dedication 

Amid life’s challenges, his wife and children dedicated the Jackson Memorial Field—a place where he once passionately coached. 
This dedication honors the strength and resilience of survivors, turning the field into a symbol of unity, determination, and a 
commitment to sustain the quality of life at the heart of our foundation’s mission.
