We are a non-profit organization focused on improving literacy among at-risk children in the New York area. www.brookejackmanfoundation.org

The Brooke Jackman Foundation’s vision is that every single child is entitled to a life full of possibilities. The Foundation brings a sense of personal value, joy, and hope to its program participants. We know that children are our future, and unless they are taken care of in their early years, the possibility of their contribution to society is less viable. We hope to lessen the achievement gap, helping each child to reach his or her potential. From the beginning, we made a commitment not only to honor Brooke’s memory, but to fulfill her dreams and carry on her legacy. Brooke had a deep love of reading and a profound interest in helping children. She would be proud to witness the powerful and positive changes that are taking place thanks to our literacy programs—proud of encouraging parents to help their children become strong readers and of parents and children reading aloud together each night, sharing the magical world of books. She would be happy to see how many children start school with the right educational tools received in their Brooke Packs and to see the libraries started in the hopes of fostering a love of reading by making books accessible to all. She would be proud, too, of the confidence and support of so many individuals, corporations, and other foundations. We continue to grow and thrive thanks to your dedication. As always, we are inspired by Brooke’s spirit and humbled by her example to give the forgotten child a chance in this world. With Love,
The Jackman Family

Today marks 25 years since we lost our beloved Brooke, along with nearly 3,000 others on September 11, 2001. 🇺🇸

Brooke was 23, a voracious reader who never went anywhere without a book. The night before the attacks, she told her mother there was more to life than making money. She planned to study social work so she could help disadvantaged children. We carry that dream forward every day. In the years since, and with the help of our supporters, we’ve put more than one million books into children’s hands.

Today, we hold in our hearts the families who lost loved ones, the heroes who risked everything to save others, and everyone whose life was changed that day. We will never forget. ❤️📚

We also hold in our hearts those affected by recent tragedies. Reminding us that the pain of loss, the need for compassion, and the power of coming together in kindness are as important now as ever.

Through books, through learning, and through caring we can help heal wounds no matter when they are made.
