The Jackie Robinson Foundation mourns the passing of Kevin Littleton, a devoted alumnus, accomplished financial professional and generous champion of the next generation of JRF Scholars.

A native of Michigan, Kevin attended Detroit Country Day School before enrolling at Yale University as a Jackie Robinson Foundation Scholar. He graduated magna cm laude in 2007 with a degree in political science and religious studies. Kevin also played four years as a defensive back on Yale’s football team and received the university’s African American House Scholar-Athlete Award upon graduation.

Visit the link below for JRF’s full tribute honoring Kevin. May he rest eternally.

Rachel Robinson’s belief in the power of education has shaped generations.

As founder of the Jackie Robinson Foundation and the Jackie Robinson Museum, she created two institutions dedicated to helping young people discover what is possible.

Since 1973, thousands of JRF Scholars have received scholarships, mentoring, and support as they pursued their futures. Today, younger students also experience that commitment through the Museum’s educational programs, where Jackie Robinson’s story inspires courage, character, and confidence.

This July, celebrate Mrs. Robinson’s 104th birthday by helping more students experience the educational mission she has spent a lifetime advancing.

One of the greatest gifts education can give a young person is the confidence to discover their own voice—and the courage to use it.

That belief has guided Rachel Robinson's life's work for decades.
One educator recently shared:

"Our students felt empowered and passionate about using their voices in ways that felt relevant, meaningful, and creative."
