OUR STORY

Vincent Jackson, the son of two military parents, was shaped by discipline, education, and a deep sense of responsibility to serve others.

A standout student-athlete who later became a successful NFL player and entrepreneur, Vincent and his wife, Lindsey, founded the Jackson in Action 83 Foundation in 2012 to support military children and families through programs centered on their educational, emotional, and physical wellbeing.

Vincent passed away in 2021, but his legacy continues through what is now the Vincent Jackson Family Foundation, led by Lindsey Jackson and their four children.
