Flashlight Foundation

As we close out 2025, we’re taking a moment to reflect on what this year made possible.

Because of the generosity and support of this community, we were able to spread kindness, support local families, and honor Jorden’s legacy in meaningful ways throughout the year.

We recently reflected on this year with a Year in Review post (link in comments).

It’s more than just a look back, it’s a reminder that real impact happens when people choose compassion, show up for one another, and carry the light forward together.

As we step into 2026, our commitment remains the same: to continue turning kindness into action and keeping Jorden’s light shining bright.

Thank you for being part of this journey with us. 🧡

Here’s to a new year filled with hope, community, and more moments of light. ✨🔦

It has been 13 years since the lives of 20 children and six educators were taken in minutes by a gunman armed with a Bushmaster AR-15 rifle and high-capacity magazines at Sandy Hook School in Newtown, Connecticut. Two other people were wounded. Their legacies live on in the enduring movement that has been built over the last 13 years to end gun violence.

The children whose lives were taken that day should have had the opportunity to grow up and pursue their dreams, but our nation’s preventable gun violence crisis robbed them of that chance. The educators who cared for them should be guiding new generations of students, celebrating their milestones, and continuing the work they loved.

Today and every day, we honor them—and the countless other victims and survivors of gun violence—with action. We stand firm in our belief that with collective action and fierce determination, we can and will end gun violence.
