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. This year’s event will take place Saturday, June 6, 2026, and benefit the following recipients, San Diego Cheer & Dance, City Heights Music School, Artful Mind, Sunshine Baseball The event will feature: Live music and interactive drumming with Drummers Without Borders Spoken word poetry by Kalil Price Youth demonstrations and inspirational testimony Face painting arts and crafts, and family activities Silent auction and community resources Food, entertainment, and healing-centered activities.
