As we approach Thanksgiving, our hearts are full of gratitude. We are deeply thankful for each of you—our supporters, partners, and friends—who make the mission of the Jae Foundation possible. Without your generosity, encouragement, and belief in our work, none of what we do could be accomplished. From all of us: thank you!

 

Over the next several weeks, we’re excited to bring you something special. Our leaders will be taking the reins of these weekly emails to introduce themselves, share the incredible impact their teams made in 2025, and give you a preview of what’s ahead in 2026. You’ll hear directly from the voices behind our mission in this order:

 

• Jae Foundation Idaho

• Jae’s Place

• Finance & Accounting

• Jae Foundation Wyoming

• Boot-Check Sports Ranch

• It’s Cool to Care

 

 

Each email will highlight the lives touched, the growth achieved, and the vision for the future. We can’t wait for you to hear from them.

 

Finally, as we gather with loved ones this Thanksgiving, let’s remember the power of a Boot-Check moment—taking time to pause, look someone in the eye, and remind them they matter. These moments of connection are what build stronger families, friendships, and communities. Let’s make this holiday not just about gratitude, but about showing those around us how deeply they are valued.

 

It’s Boot-Check Time!
