The JLG Foundation LOVES the Hogeye Marathon & Relays! Tonight was the celebration after the “Golden” 50th annual Hogeye Marathon, and we are so grateful to have received a portion of the proceeds again this year. ❤️ The Hogeye donated $35,000 to local organizations - and had a record number of runners - and we love to get to be a part of this great community event. It’s been around 20 years for us with the Hogeye now! If you missed it this year, mark it down for next spring - April 17, 2027! Thank you to all the hard workers who make this race happen!

This , we’re inviting you to be part of something lasting.

You can give in two meaningful ways:
1) Support our endowment
2) Donate personal comfort and necessity items for NICU babies and families

Why an endowment?
We created this goal so the Jackson L. Graves Foundation can support neonatal care every single year, indefinitely. An endowment allows us to give a minimum of 5% annually based on the fund’s performance — right now, that means $6,500 each year dedicated to NICU support.

Your gift today doesn’t just help one project.
It helps every year, for years to come.
That’s the legacy.

Because of you, the NICU community has come to depend on this support—holiday care packages, comfort items, parent resources, and direct partnership with hospital staff. The endowment protects and sustains all of it.

If you’d like to join us this Giving Tuesday, here are the easiest ways:

• Shop the wishlist: https://www.walmart.com/registry/br/c96b5e18-5b87-4bfd-9d97-2e1a85320f8a
• Give to the endowment: https://www.arcf.org/give-online/?fund=Jackson+L.+Graves+Foundation+Charitable+Fund
• Share this post to spread the word

We’re grateful for every gift that helps us care for babies and their families—today and for years to come. 💛👶✨

🎄 Hi Foundation Friends & Family! 🎄
It’s been a minute since we’ve posted, but we’re excited to share some good news. Because of your help with our endowment — and a few of our die-hard partners (looking at you, Baby Book Backpacks 👀💛) — we’re able to continue supporting NICU families this Christmas.

We’re creating 100 care packages for families spending the holidays in the NICU with their babies. We’ve got the core costs covered — but if you want to jump in and add a little extra love, here are simple ways to help:

We couldn’t have done this without you! Today, the Hogeye Marathon & Relays presented us with an $8,000 donation for neonatal care. These funds will directly support NICU families through our annual Christmas deliveries.
