Our Mission

The Khyree Jackson Foundation invests in young people through scholarships, football camps, and community programming rooted in Khyree’s values of faith, determination, humility, perseverance and authenticity - while advancing driver safety awareness.

“God didn’t give me these skills to go to waste.”

Our vision

Khyree's motto reminds us that talent must be nurtured and never wasted, and it is that belief that drives our vision of a future where one family's love for their son creates lasting opportunity and a culture of safety for generations of young people.
