Going the Distance

Jayson is Driving Towards Success.7 years ago, when Jayson was just 10 years old, he was matched with his Big Brother Derek.  The two instantly bonded over their passion for sports and Derek even coached Jayson's baseball league.  Thus began their journey of what would become a long and fruitful relationship.

Over the years Derek and Jayson have experienced so many things together.  From tossing around a football, to attending games at the Big House, the two continued to grow their bond through their mutual interests.

During this time Derek has been able to watch Jayson grow into a young man.  He's noticed a change in the way Jayson interacts with adults, problem solve with his peers and even recognize the importance of education as he works towards a better future.

Now 17, Jayson was recently the recipient of the All Star Driver Education scholarship.  This award allows him the opportunity to take driver's education classes for free and get a driver's license before he turns 18.

This accomplishment allows Jayson the ability to drive to and from sports or work.  This achievement is just another chapter in the road that lies ahead for him.
