Brooke Packs Have Arrived! Thanks to the Brooke Jackman Foundation, over 600 children involved in our programs have received brand new backpacks filled with school supplies and books to kick start the new school year! The Brooke Jackman Foundation’s vision is that every single child is entitled to a life full of possibilities. The Foundation brings a sense of personal value, joy, and hope to its program participants. They know that children are our future, and unless they are taken care of in their early years, the possibility of their contribution to society is less viable. They hope to lessen the achievement gap, helping each child to reach his or her potential. View more photos.
