A huge thank you to Teamsters Local 507 for honoring Julian by dedicating a dinosaur in his name at the Akron Zoo. 🦖💚

We went to see it today, and it was so special to see Julian’s name there. Such a special way to keep his memory alive and bring his love of dinosaurs to life!

The dinosaur exhibit will be at the zoo until September 30th, so be sure to check it out!

Post your pics here if you go see it💚

We are so incredibly happy with how the benches turned out at North Olmsted Park!

The benches are located right by the splash pad. We love knowing that families will be able to sit, relax, watch their kids play, and make memories together right here at the park. It’s such a special feeling to know that Julian’s memory is continuing to make a difference in our community. 🦖💚

Being able to donate these benches and give back to our community in Julian’s memory is something that means more to us than we can put into words.

We are incredibly grateful for the opportunity to do something meaningful in Julian’s honor and for everyone who continues to support the JuJu Myles Foundation. Your love and support allow us to keep Julian’s spirit alive through acts of kindness and giving back.

We would love to know if you have gone to see them!

Forever Julian. Forever loved. Forever making a difference. 💚🦖

Today, we had the honor of mailing out 3 more scholarship checks, and each one carries so much more than financial support—it carries hope, encouragement, and the belief that someone's dreams matter. 💙🎓

As we sealed each envelope, we couldn't help but think about the incredible students receiving them and the exciting journeys that lie ahead. Knowing that our community came together to invest in these young people is truly humbling.

To every sponsor, donor, volunteer, and participant who has supported JuJu's Dino Dash—thank you. Because of your kindness and generosity, lives are being changed, opportunities are being created, and dreams are becoming reality.

This is why we do what we do. 💚🦖✨

It was truly an honor to be there last night to recognize and celebrate these 11 outstanding recipients of the Julian Wood Memorial Scholarship.

Thanks to the incredible support of this community, we were able to raise these scholarship funds through our 2nd annual JuJu’s Dino Dash on April 18th, which brought together more than 800 participants, 40 sponsors, and dozens of volunteers.
The scholarships totalled $11,000, so each recipient received $1,000.

The overwhelming support shown through this event is a powerful reminder of what can happen when a community comes together with a shared purpose: to uplift and invest in the next generation.

Last night, we were proud to honor students who demonstrated hard work, perseverance, dedication, and a strong commitment to their future. Their achievements, character, and determination made them truly deserving of this recognition.

This scholarship was created not only to recognize academic achievement, but also to honor the memory of our son - Julian Wood — a legacy of kindness, strength, love, and community. Through this scholarship, his spirit continues to inspire and make a difference in the lives of others.

We are honored to be a small part of your journey and cannot wait to see all that you accomplish in the years ahead.

To these recipients: we are incredibly proud of you. We hope this scholarship encourages you to continue chasing your goals, overcoming obstacles, and making a positive impact wherever life takes you. Last night was a celebration of everything they have accomplished so far and all the incredible things still ahead.
