2. Tutoring support for students in grades 7-12
3. Sponsorship of Little League baseball teams
4. Support for grieving families
5. Community fundraising events that inspire connection and create positive impact

We are committed to living out the values JJ stood for—ensuring his example not only continues, but grows stronger in the lives of others.
