Testimonials

“Over the years our company has been a proud supporter of the JOF and as a corporate sponsor and volunteer we have had front row insight to the tremendous impact being made in our community. Well known for his successful music career, Jake has further distinguished himself by creating the JOF and leveraging his success to improve the lives of so many in our hometown and beyond. The drive, dedication, and commitment Jake and the entire Owen family brings to the foundation, and all of its events, has made sponsorship a natural fit for our company.” -Dale Sorensen Jr., Dale Sorensen Real Estate, Inc

“We have been a part of the Jake Owen Foundation since its inception. We believe in the Foundation’s mission, as we share the same principles of giving back to our community. Let gratitude be your attitude.” - Donald C. Proctor, CEO of Proctor Construction Company, LLC

“Vero Beach is a small town and many of us have grown up alongside Jake. We are faithful supporters of the Jake Owen Foundation. It’s a blessing to see Jake pour back into the youth of the community that he grew up in. The JOF continues to grow and is able to provide help and support to youth across the nation in various ways. We look forward each year to the weekend festivities of the JOF Annual Benefit where Indian River County joins together with Jake to raise awareness and support for children in all communities.” - Chris & Kerri Mazzerella

“I have watched Jake grow up here, and what he does for Vero Beach is just fantastic. I believe one of the keys to success in any business you're in, is to find a way to give back. The way this foundation gives back, the time the foundation gives to detail, as well as the contributions that are made warm my heart and I am so proud to be a small part of it.” - Bob Gibson

“We are thrilled to be collaborating with the Jake Owen Foundation and ever so grateful for their generosity. Like the Mental Health Association, they are dedicated to help those in their own community stay safe & healthy. Both of our organizations know the importance of giving back to the youth in Indian River County through programs like the Boys & Girls Clubs. Together we can do great things and we will make a difference. Most importantly, we WILL save lives!” - Mental Health Association in Indian River County

Children’s Home Society of Florida greatly appreciates the wonderful support of the Jake Owen Foundation, specifically to support our Transition Living Program (TLP) in Vero Beach, Florida. Because of the TLP, young adults (ages 18 to 23) who would otherwise be homeless, have an opportunity to realize their full potential as they pursue bright futures. The TLP offers our residents safe housing, support as they complete their education, and guidance as they plan for their future careers. With the TLP, these young adults build a foundation of life skills to help ensure their success as adults. The Jake Owen Foundation is a great supporting partner of the TLP, and we are grateful for their financial support.” – Dale Jacobs, Vero Beach Resident, CHS Board of Directors Chairman

“We would like to thank The Jake Owen Foundation from the bottom of our hearts for supporting Children's Home Society through our Transitional Living Program. This program supports young adults who have aged out of Foster Care, that are still trying to graduate from High School and/or continue on to higher education. Additionally, these young adults are in great need of life skills and finding jobs. With the support of the Jake Owen Foundation, these young adults can receive the support and training that everyone in life deserves. Thank you Jake Owen Foundation from all of us at Children's Home Society of Florida.” - Marta Schneider

“The Jake Owen Foundation has made a tremendous impact on Youth Guidance Mentoring Academy and the 250 children we serve each year.

We would like to thank, Jake, and the rest of the team for ensuring children in your hometown grow up to make our community a better place.” - Phil Barnes
