_IN OCTOBER 2018, AT JUST 19 YEARS OLD, JOEL WAS TRAGICALLY KILLED IN A CAR ACCIDENT. LIKE SO MANY FAMILIES WHO HAVE EXPERIENCED THE SUDDEN LOSS OF A CHILD, WE WERE OVERWHELMED WITH SHOCK AND GRIEF. DURING THAT UNIMAGINABLY DIFFICULT TIME, THE BRANDON TOLSON FOUNDATION STEPPED IN TO PROVIDE SUPPORT._

_LETS COME TOGETHER TO RAISE FUNDS IN JOELS HONOR, ENSURING THE BRANDON TOLSON FOUNDATION CAN CONTINUE PROVIDING VITAL EMOTIONAL SUPPORT AND FINANCIAL RELIEF TO FAMILIES NAVIGATING LIFE AFTER THE DEVASTATING LOSS OF A CHILD. WITH YOUR HELP, WE CAN OFFER GRIEVING FAMILIES THE HOPE, HEALING, AND RESOURCES THEY NEED DURING THEIR DARKEST MOMENTS._

_THANK YOU FOR HONORING JOELS MEMORY THROUGH YOUR GENEROUS SUPPORT._
