There are those whose influence and impact are felt across generations, across ethnic barriers, political lines, and worldviews. They are giants whose wingspan stretches across the globe, embracing humanity as though they could hug every person at once.

That is how the JAMS family chooses to remember Elder Sam Coleman.

He was a man who genuinely believed in the power and promise of young people. He dedicated his life to investing in them, encouraging them, and believing in them.

His legacy is not simply measured by what he accomplished, but by the countless lives he helped shape. We are better because he was here, and generations to come will continue to feel the impact of a life so faithfully lived.

Rest well, Elder Coleman. Your work lives on.

Too often, people see events like the Holloman Challenge as just basketball.

We see something much bigger.

It’s a place where cross-discipline collaboration forge relationships and build community.

At JAMS, we believe transformation doesn’t only happen in classrooms, art studios, or on stages. It happens anywhere caring adults intentionally invest in young people. Whether through music, visual arts, entrepreneurship, leadership development, or sports, the goal is the same:

To empower the creative leaders of tomorrow.

🏀 Will Holloman joins Sports4Jax Unscripted to break down the Holloman Challenge—the ultimate 1-on-1 basketball tournament that's bringing together some of the area's top hoopers.

The future of Jacksonville is being shaped today.

Join us in thanking the City of Jacksonville for continuing to prioritize children through sustained funding for the Kids Hope Alliance and the Cultural Council of Greater Jacksonville. These investments do more than fund programs. They invest in opportunity, creativity, leadership, and hope.

Here’s how you can stand with us:

1. Change your profile picture to the logo from now through the month of September and help spread the message across Jacksonville.

2. Thank your City Council representative. Reach out by email, phone, or social media and thank them for supporting investments in afterschool programming, arts, and culture that strengthen our community.

3. Share your story. Tell us how afterschool programming, arts, or culture changed your life or the life of your child. Your story reminds our city that these investments create lasting impact. Be sure to use so others can join the movement.

Before I become your employee, your neighbor, your teacher, your police officer, your entrepreneur, your artist, or your elected official…

I am the child.

Let’s continue building a Jacksonville where every decision begins with the same question:

“How does this impact the children of Jacksonville?”
