WHO WE ARE
The Jalen Jimerson Foundation is a registered 501(c)(3) nonprofit organization.
The Jalen Jimerson Foundation was founded by Katrice A. Miller in honor of her son, Jalen Amir Jimerson.
Our mission is to make a positive impact on the lives of children and young adults. We promote the development of young people in achieving their full intellectual and social potential. We achieve this goal by providing both fun and enjoyable events along with outstanding opportunities to help them achieve success and develop leadership skills.
​
The Jalen Jimerson Foundation provides an environment where young people can learn, grow and flourish. We are able to reach at-risk children and offer much needed care and support to help improve their lives. We also provide guidance and act as mentors and role models in their personal, social and spiritual development. Our foundation creates opportunities for young people to develop into mature and responsible adults who will play an important role within their communities and help change the world.
"Use your success, wealth and influence to put children in the best position to realize their own dreams and find their true purpose." - Kobe Bryant
About Jalen Jimerson
Jalen Jimerson was tragically taken away from us too soon at the age of 19 years old in 2022. Throughout Jalen's life, he took great pride in the art of charitable donations and being active in his community. He volunteered with Angel Tree, St. James Pediatrics and assisted with making thanksgiving baskets with his church. He had a passion for not only helping children but also helping them acknowledge their capabilities even if it felt like a far reach. His kind and caring heart allowed him to be loved and appreciated not only by his family and friends, but also all who experienced meeting him.
