More about
our Mission

Jeromy D. Bechard was a gifted athlete, devoted friend, and beloved brother, son, and husband, whose joy for basketball and life was contagious. He carried his faith and determination into every challenge and touched the lives of many with his big hugs, playful heart, and warm spirit.

After his life was tragically cut short at the age of 29 in a plane crash, his family and loved ones established the Blue Skies Foundation in his memory. His love for the sky and the name reflect the optimism, strength, and endless possibilities that Jeromy inspired.

We exist to carry his light forward by lifting young athletes through scholarships, athletic support, and spiritual mentorship.

Whether it’s helping a student attend a Christian school, covering the cost of their team gear, or getting them to a life-changing tournament, we believe every young athlete deserves the chance to grow and soar under blue skies.

“Let us run with perseverance the race marked out for us.” - Hebrews 12:1
