My name is Jabari Brady, and I'm a freshman football player at the University of Missouri.
My journey began long before football. I was born in the United States but grew up in Jamaica until I was nine years old, when I returned to the United States. Although I've built my life here, Jamaica will always hold a special place in my heart. Giving back to the community that helped shape me has become one of the most meaningful parts of my journey.
Over the years, through the Jabari Brady Foundation, my mom and I have been giving back to our community back home by supporting schools and children in need. Each year, we return to Jamaica to personally deliver essential items to families and students. This year, through our Jabari Brady Foundation Back-to-School Drive, we're helping students begin the new school year with confidence by providing backpacks filled with school supplies and other everyday essentials that many families struggle to afford.
Every donation, no matter the size, will make a direct impact on a child's life. Your generosity will help ensure that students have the tools they need to succeed in school and remind them that they are loved, valued, and supported.
We will be personally delivering:
Backpacks
School supplies
Notebooks and folders
Pens, pencils, crayons, and markers
Hygiene and toiletry items
Other essential back-to-school necessities
Thank you for supporting the Jabari Brady Foundation and partnering with us to invest in the future of these children. Together, we can make a lasting difference—one child, one backpack, and one act of kindness at a time.
