The Jason Beaird Memorial Foundation (JBMF) was created to help keep the spirit and memory of Jason

04/18/2026

We are beyond grateful for the incredible response to this year’s JBMF Adversity Scholarship. The applications we received were thoughtful, powerful, and a true reflection of resilience and heart within our community.

With such a strong and highly competitive pool, narrowing it down was no easy task. After careful consideration, 11 exceptional students were selected. Each one truly reflects the mission of the Jason Beaird Memorial Foundation through their perseverance, character, and commitment to others.

Congratulations to our 2026 scholarship recipients. We are so proud of you and honored to support you as you take the next step in your journey.

☘JBMF shared our St. Patrick's Day spirit with Ronald McDonald House Charities of Central Florida (RMH) by delivering adorable baby beanie caps to their Orlando Health House in Downtown Orlando. These festive, handmade caps were lovingly knitted by Kathleen Sullivan-Myrick, a Friend of JBMF and mom of BOD member Missy Van Anda. 💚

Want to see more ways JBMF supports RMH families? From home-cooked dinners to snack bags and room sponsorships, we’re proud to give back. Learn more at https://www.jasonbeairdfoundation.org/

☘💚 Happy St. Patrick's Day from JBMF! Throwing it back to Jason at the St. Patrick's Day Parade in Boston around 2009. Always one to have fun...we planned his Multiple Myeloma DR appointment at Dana Farber in Boston around the day so we could celebrate St. Patrick's Day up there!

Today, we’re honoring those joyful moments, the strength behind every journey, and the memories that continue to inspire our mission every day.

Wishing you all a day filled with laughter, love, and a little Irish luck! ☘

Today marks 13 years since we lost Jason.

Jason Beaird passed away in March 2013 after battling multiple myeloma at just 42 years old. He was a devoted husband and father, a passionate athlete, a coach, and someone who never stopped giving back to others. Even after his diagnosis, he continued competing in triathlons, coaching baseball, and raising money for charities because he believed in living life fully every single day.

Jason never let cancer define him. He lived with strength, humor, determination, and a heart for helping people.

The Jason Beaird Memorial Foundation exists to carry forward that spirit through scholarships, community partnerships, and service. Every event, every volunteer, and every student impacted is a reminder that his story did not end in 2013. It continues through all of us.

We miss you every day, Jason.
Thank you for inspiring us to live bigger, love harder, and help others.

☘💙🧡🐾Thank you to everyone who joined us for Paws, Pints & Paddy's at BarkHaven this past Saturday to celebrate Jason’s life, 13 years after his passing. This special event brought together friends, family, and community members for an afternoon of sports, fellowship, and remembrance.

We watched the UF Gators close victory over Kentucky in their final regular season basketball game before March Madness while celebrating an early St Paddy's Day with our “One on the Bar” tribute in Jason’s honor.

JBMF in the Ronald McDonald House Charities of Central Florida kitchen! 👩‍🍳❤️

We were honored to prepare 40+ meals for the incredible families staying at the RMH Orlando Health House as part of their Share-A-Meal program. On the menu: Swiss Chicken Casserole, Honey Glazed Carrots, Mixed Salad, Fresh Rolls, and (of course!) warm Chocolate Chip Cookies.

The best part? Hearing the wonderful feedback from residents and knowing we could bring a little comfort through a home-cooked meal. And we even had a special guest appearance from Margo — the house manager’s adorable puppy — who stopped by the kitchen afterwards to say hello! 🐶

Grateful for the opportunity to serve and support such an amazing community. Thank you to Missy Van Anda, Hue Lien Duxbury, Dave Morrissey, Ruth Osborne and Wendy Toscano for volunteering! Please visit our website for more information about JBMF - https://www.jasonbeairdfoundation.org/ ☘💚
