The Dance-A-Thon is still on!

We have had a few people ask if we are still holding the Dance-A-Thon next Saturday, June 16th, and the answer is most definitely, yes!


Even though the Jackson family wasn't able to bring their baby boy home, they still have all of the medical and travel costs associated with having a child and now also the aftercare.


Please continue to keep the Jackson Family in your prayers and pray that this event can help lighten their burden a little.

From the Jackson Family...

Sarah went into labor Thursday, June 7th, and delivered our son, Emmett Daniel Jackson at 9:42pm. He weighed 8 lbs 6 oz and was 21 inches long. Because of his condition, as soon as he entered the world his lungs could not support his heart. The doctors worked vigorously to revive him, but his lungs just weren't developed enough. He was never in any pain, he never suffered.

Please understand that while this is very hard and we are heart-broken, we are at peace. God has already shown us one piece of His plan for Emmett. He became an organ donor and donated his heart valves to potentially 2 babies in need. The staff said it is very rare for a baby to qualify for this, and that makes Emmett special. We are happy his brief moments here will potentially provide life to another baby.

We also prayed that if he wasn't going to make it, that it wasn't prolonged or a struggle. Our prayers were answered, he is with Jesus in heaven now.

Thank you for your thoughts and prayers through everything. We are sad, but we know life does not end on this earth. We will be joined again with our son when we meet our Heavenly Father.

We feel very surrounded by love.

Brian and Sarah Jackson

Do you hear the music?



I can and I can surely feel the beat! We are holding a Zumba-esk dance-a-thon to raise funds for Baby Jackson (read more about Baby Jackson).

This will be a fun filled event for sure! We will have dance work outs, raffles, food, silent auction items, vendor booths, goody bags and more!

Don't want to dance but still want to help out this worthy cause? We are offering vendor booths, sponsorships, and donations of all kinds.

We are planning this event for mid-June (date TBA very soon!) and it will be held at Daytona Alliance Church on Beville Road in Daytona Beach.

We will be posting event updates, flyers, sponsorship opportunities, Baby Jackson updates and more very soon, so keep checking back and tell all of your friends!

One more VERY important detail: ALL (every last penny) of the proceeds will go to the Jackson Family. We are trying to get as much donated as possible as to keep the costs down so we can donate the most money possible to help this wonderful family.

God Bless,
Friends of the Jackson Family
