J.A.M. Foundation Inc.2015 Annual Gala Auction Package
When he was 15 years old, Justin Menendez lost his 13 year‒old brother, Jason An-thony Menendez, to suicide. It was in the wake of that tragedy that Justin founded The J.A.M. Foundation, a 501(c)(3) non-profit organization. The mission of The J.A.M.-Foundation is to educate the youth of today, as well as parents, educators and the gen-eral public, to Stand Up and Speak about the often‒taboo topic of suicide. One goal of The J.A.M. Foundation is to spread awareness of the warning signs of sui-cide risk and eliminate the stigma surrounding suicide and mental health issues to help reduce the number of adolescents dying by suicide. We recognize that, unless and until we confront, challenge and overcome that stigma, it will continue to be a ma-jor barrier to the treatment of mental illnesses and to the prevention of suicide. On Saturday, August 15th 2015 The J.A.M. Foundation, Inc. will be hosting the 2nd annual Jason’s Wish Scholarships & Awards Gala. The Jason’s Wish Scholarship is awarded in memory of Jason Anthony Menendez to a limited number of graduating high school seniors who will exemplify qualities in leadership, character and commu-nity service. In 2013, The J.A.M. Foundation was able to offer $3,000 worth of scholar-ships to two students.
We offer these awards to students who had to suffer through the tragic loss of losing a loved one to suicide, and despite their tragedy, are still aiming for success.
We would like to ask that you consider becoming one of our 2015 Jason’s Wish Spon-sors. As a sponsor, you/your business will receive positive attention from your associa-tion with The J.A.M. Foundation, a 501(c)(3) non-profit.
Your sponsorship will help instill a continued education for a high school senior at-tending college, and seeking a bright future even after overcoming their tragic loss of a loved one to suicide. Your sponsorship will also help with the constant resources and support that we offer to middle & high school students when hosting educational pre-sentations at their schools.
Attached you will find a breakdown of the sponsorship opportunities along with what they include, and how to submit the form to us.
I thank you in advanced for joining me on my journey- and believing in my mission!
