About #loveBIG Foundation, Inc.

#loveBig Foundation was born out of the heart and actions of Jack Paris.  Jack’s story is our initial blog post found here. The purpose of the foundation is carrying on Jack’s legacy by educating and advocating for our youth. Monetary donations made to the foundation will be utilized to help advance the lives of youth.  From assisting a youth with the cost of a uniform for their first job, to the application fee for a school or club, to sending a kid to camp all requests will be reviewed and considered by the foundation board. In 2022 we were able to endow a scholarship for vocational education opportunities to be awarded to a graduating senior every year. Jack lived life outside the box, so we invite you to think outside the box when approaching the foundation for assistance.
