Hello, my name is Elene Bratton. I am Jamie’s mom, and founder of Jamie’s Joy. We lost Jamie very suddenly, in a car crash when he was one month shy of his 6th birthday. During our healing process, our family felt a strong pull to continue Jamie’s spirit through supporting the children of San Diego, so we started a non-profit called Jamie’s Joy which does that and more. We are a non-profit fiscally sponsored by SD Foundation 95-2942582. We hope you can see the value of supporting this all-volunteer organization dedicated to preserving he life of Jamie, whose legacy of love, joy, peace, and connection has guided us to raise money each year for the children of San Diego County. Since its inspection in 2003 we have raised nearly $90,000 to help San Diego kids, youth and families thrive. We’ve been able to promote grief literacy helping numerous families find healthy avenues to grieve through honoring and remembering their loved ones. We’ve spoken out about distracted driving and promoted awareness of traffic safety, going around the world from Cuba to China, Kenya to India to help children everywhere have the opportunity for a better life. This year, to mark Jamie’s 30th birthday anniversary, we are partnering with several organizations that carry forward his spirit of giving and service to the community.

Pride season has arrived, and Songwriter Sanctuary San Diego is celebrating on Friday, June 26 with their annual LGBTQ+ Pride edition. For this year’s event, the monthly music series (recently recognized by San Diego Pride with the Spirit of Stonewall Larry T. Baza Arts and Culture award) presents a lineup of local acts from Raspberry Management, a queer-forward artist collective supporting some of the best rising talent in San Diego and beyond. This Nashville-style songwriter’s round will be guest-hosted by Raspberry artist and Songwriter Sanctuary board member Rachel Hall (aka Mariela), featuring stripped-down versions of original music from Saint Misty, The Dimes, and Daddy. Julian Forest will start off the evening at 6 p.m. with an unplugged busking set on the sidewalk stage to accompany Songwriter Sanctuary’s community care initiative called the “Pre Show Pantry Jam," which encourages attendees to arrive a little early with unopened/unexpired donations for the venue’s community fridge, pantry, and closet. Thanks to sponsorship from Ability Central, ASL services will be provided by Deaf Community Services of San Diego for music in the sanctuary. About the Artists Saint Misty is a synth-pop artist whose sticky-sweet hooks wrap around songs that reckon with identity and escape, tracing her journey from radical Christian cult to lesbian icon in the making. The Dimes are a 6-piece nonsense rock band known for their high-energy sets that swing from riot grrrl to queer yearning to absurdism. The Dimes are here to make you feel something. Anything! Daddy is the intoxicating and sparkly indie glitter rock project of vocalist/guitarist Brooke Patterson and bassist Jessica Muchnick—two high school acquaintances turned best friends. (Pantry Jam artist) Julian Forest is a songwriter, lyricist and musician who floats between genres with ease, telling stories laced with imagery and themes of empowerment.
