How it Started

In February 2020, Jordynn sparked an interest in giving to others. She was invited to Grand Bahama to compete on the island, who was still in the recovery phase of rebuilding and getting back to normal after Hurricane Dorian decimated the island in 2019. Jordynn, out of the goodness of her heart decided to donate some of her slightly used track spikes and running gear to some of the athletes who lost almost everything in the destruction. Since then, she has donated more shoes, track spikes and gear to athletes across the world, both individually, and through partnerships with various small businesses.

The JW Believe Foundation was founded on strong beliefs that individuals and communities can partner together in providing opportunities for athletes to demonstrate their talents with the aid of small financial grants, essential equipment donations, and scholarship opportunities.
