Hi friends! This year, for my birthday, I'm asking for something a little different. Instead of gifts, I’d love for you to consider donating to our Jackson Yelle Foundation Inc. All the funds from this birthday campaign will be used in our 2026 Bright Light program.

What is Bright Light, you ask? What we learned from Jackson's community after he was killed by an impaired driver in a hit-and-run incident in April 2023 was that he was a bright light of positivity, fun, laughter, inclusion, and kindness. They shared with us how he impacted their lives in small ways every day. When he was around, the world seemed a little brighter; it had a little more kindness and hope.

In 2026, as part of the Jackson Yelle Foundation's work, we will be helping other families who have lost a child to impaired driving to navigate the difficult waters after such a tragic loss. We want to be a bright light for other families as Jackson was for his community.

Every dollar will go towards this initiative in 2026.

Thank you for your continued support of Team Yelle and the Jackson Yelle Foundation.
