TO HAVE RESOLVE

The I Have Resolve Foundation provides awareness, education, and works in support of inclusion for anyone who faces a physical, social, developmental, or learning challenge. We focus on education, well-being, and supporting inclusion opportunities for individuals, families, organizations, schools, and communities to meet the needs of persons with disabilities.

Our goal is to promote shared opportunities to bridge the gap between those with and those without disabilities. We are committed to increasing the quality of social interaction, work to reduce isolation for those with disabilities, as well as focus on inclusion learning for all.

We believe in a mindset of we all belong. In belonging we live, work, learn and play together to grow, show each other respect and kindness.

OUR THREE PILLARS OF INCLUSION

Inclusive Education for Everyone

We believe every child deserves to learn and grow in an environment that celebrates diversity. Through partnerships with camps, schools, and educators, we support inclusive learning experiences that build empathy, belonging, and leadership among all students.

Opportunities for Persons with Disabilities

We invest in meaningful opportunities that support social connection, recreation, and empowerment. Whether it’s accessible playgrounds, gaming systems for homebound youth, or inclusive sports and events, we’re committed to breaking down barriers and building community.

Inclusive Classroom Supports

Our Classroom of Resolve initiative equips classrooms with specialized resources and tools to support students with disabilities. From adaptive materials to sensory-friendly spaces, we work with educators to create learning environments where every student can thrive.

What Does Resolve Mean to You?

As we prepare the very first edition of A Legacy of Resolve – Volume One, we’re reflecting on a question that has inspired our Foundation from the very beginning.

What does resolve mean to you?

For our family, it began with five simple words spoken by Jason:

“Whatever happens, Mom, I have resolve.”

Since then, “resolve” has come to mean many different things to many different people—hope, courage, belonging, kindness, perseverance, friendship, and inclusion.

We would love to hear from you.

In a sentence or two, tell us: What does resolve mean to you?

With your permission, we may feature selected responses in A Legacy of Resolve – Volume One, our inaugural annual story of impact, being released this month.

Thank you for being part of Jason’s legacy.

July is Disability Pride Month

This month, we celebrate the strength, resilience, individuality, and contributions of people with disabilities. Disability Pride is about embracing identity, challenging barriers, and recognizing that disability is a natural and valuable part of human diversity.

At the I Have Resolve Foundation, inclusion isn’t just something we believe in—it’s the reason we exist.

Every day, we work to create communities where people of all abilities feel seen, valued, and included through:

Disability Pride isn’t only about awareness—it’s about action. It’s about ensuring that every person has the opportunity to participate, contribute, and thrive in their school, workplace, and community.

Together, we can build a future where inclusion isn’t the exception—it’s the expectation.

Happy Disability Pride Month! Let’s celebrate every person, every ability, every day.
