We started Jalen's Book Drive as a way to celebrate and honor Jalen and give back to the community. A few of his favorite things were Christmas, books and the color red. We want to remember Jalen by collecting books and sharing them with others throughout the holiday season.

Yesterday was a beautiful day to celebrate Jalen's life and deliver 1,500 books to kids like him. Happy birthday, Jalen. I hope we made you proud. Missing you today and everyday....

  1. We received a book from Jalen's book drive for our son (through the Delta Gamma Center for Children with Visual Impairments). The book is perfect for our son who has cortical visual impairment (along with a variety of other issues). Thank you for the book!! We are so grateful. Thank you for thinking of our special son!
