Jessi defined FEARLESS LEADERSHIP, she was driven to succeed while uplifting others [particularly women] throughout her career. The JCF scholarship selection committee recognized similar characteristics in these trailblazers and are excited to see them succeed while carrying Jessi’s legacy forward.
**About August 27th**
August 27th marks the day Jessi gave everything in pursuit of her passion. It’s now the day that we, as The Foundation in her name, give to other passionate, hardworking women in pursuit of their dreams. It’s an incredibly meaningful gesture for us; one that was at the core of who Jessi Combs was and one that we as the Foundation will continue ongoing in service to the next generation of trailblazing and stereo-type-breaking women.🏁❤️🏁
