JAMIE GAVE US A MISSION
The Jamie Daniels Foundation provides support for youth and adolescents battling Substance Use Disorder.
The Jamie Daniels Foundation was established by his parents, Lisa Daniels-Goldman and Detroit Red Wings Announcer Ken Daniels. Together, they are educating and uniting communities to combat Substance Use Disorder.
“We think of those fighting cancer as brave and heroic,” Ken Daniels says. “We think of those battling substance use as weak and hopeless. We will save so many lives when we drop the notion of what we think an addict is and provide them with the proven care they need.”
WHAT WE DO
Jamie Daniels Foundation grants funds to support community partners that provide programs, resources, and solutions that address the ongoing drug epidemic in our country. The foundation also advocates for legislative change as it relates to drug use and prescribing. Our primary focus is on children, young adults (up to age 24), and their families who are battling Substance Use Disorder through three key initiatives: Prevention, Recovery, and Stigma Reduction.
Create partnerships to educate and support communities in the prevention and misuse of drugs.
