The Bill Russell Memorial Foundation

03/20/2026

Our community is heartbroken over the sudden loss of Jill Dean.

Jill, alongside Steve, has been such an integral part of our lives — always showing up, always giving back, and always putting others first. The impact they’ve had on this community is immeasurable, and now it’s our turn to surround them with the same care and support they’ve given so many.

We are asking for donations to the Bill Russell Memorial Foundation to help Steve and his family with arrangements for Jill and to provide support during this incredibly difficult time. No amount is too small, and every gesture of kindness means more than words can express.

If you’re able, please consider donating and keeping Steve and his family in your thoughts and prayers.

✨ Behind the Scenes Heroes ✨

It’s 9:22pm and our amazing jump crew just wrapped up packing the entire BRM horse show. From setting up every jump to keeping the show running smoothly, they were here at 6am every morning and didn’t leave until long after everyone else.

Their teamwork is what makes it all possible — moving as one, solving problems on the fly, and keeping everything running seamlessly. These are the guys who make the magic happen behind the scenes, and we truly couldn’t do it without them!

We had an incredible weekend, and we want to thank everyone who came out to support, cheer, ride, and be part of this special event.
