About

About Jason

Jason’s Legacy was founded to honor the memory of Jason, a young child whose life was tragically taken by suicide due to bullying. Jason’s story is a painful reminder of the devastating impact that bullying can have on children and families.

Our foundation is dedicated to raising awareness about bullying and its consequences, promoting mental health support, and creating safe, inclusive environments where every child feels valued and protected.
