Braemar's 2026 Charity: Sweet Julia Grace
Braemar's Turkey Trot charity this year is The Sweet Julia Grace Foundation (SJGF). Founded in 2014, and based in Bristow, VA, is a 501 (c) (3), non-profit organization. SJGF was founded by Sara Knight in honor of Sara and Jason Knights daughter Julia, who passed away in 2013 due to complications of a rare disease called I-cell. Julia lived 12 beautiful years inspiring everyone who knew her, read about her, and loved her. Despite the storms she faced, Julia learned how to Dance In The Rain. She lived in the moment, made life SWEET, and filled hearts with JOY...just by being her. Their mission is to Bless, Celebrate, and Love children who are medically fragile, have complex special/medical needs, or are currently facing a medical crisis. They grant wishes that bring joy and change lives, fill in gaps other services are unable to fill, and provide support with day-to-day needs for families going through the unimaginable with their child. The gifts they provide bring comfort and happiness; and oftentimes dramatically improve and change childrens lives. So this year we will run for all the raindancers, as they call the children they serve.
