OUR MISSION

The mission of the Vincent Jackson Family Foundation is to provide support to military and civilian families, focusing on the emotional and physical wellness of the children.

PROGRAMS YOUTH IN ACTION CAMP

Youth in Action Camp is to emphasize one of the foundation’s three pillars by encouraging youth to remain healthy and physically active.

PROGRAMS DANNY DOG TAGS

Series of three children’s books designed to help kids and their parents cope with some of the challenges military life may bring.

PROGRAMS ANNUAL MILITARY MOM’S BABY SHOWER

The annual shower provides these military families with an experience they might not receive otherwise, as many are stationed far away from family and friends who would traditionally host a baby shower for them.

PROGRAMS MIND MASTERS

Mind Masters wellness workshop for rising middle schoolers to help them adopt the practices, lessons, and strategies shared so they become mentally and emotionally resilient as they continue to grow.

Donations

When you give, you provide support for programs that positively impact the educational, emotional, and physical health of military children and families.

VINCENT’S STORY

Vincent Jackson, the son of two military parents, was shaped by discipline, education, and a deep sense of responsibility to give back.

A standout student-athlete who later became a successful NFL player and entrepreneur, Vincent never forgot his roots. In 2012, he founded the Jackson in Action 83 Foundation to support military families—especially children—through educational, emotional, and physical wellness programs.

Inspired by his own experience growing up in a military household, Vincent’s mission is to help military parents stay connected to their children, even across long distances.

OUR CORE PILLARS

Empowering Opportunities

We believe in education, activities, and mentorship as powerful tools to uplift children, strengthen family bonds, and build brighter futures. Through learning, play, and trusted guidance, we aim to nurture resilience, inspire confidence, and empowerment
