Uplifting Maine’s Athletic Youth Since October, 2024

In memory of Jared Daniel Pelletier

Our Mission

In loving memory of Jared Pelletier, a lifelong athlete and natural leader, our mission is to uplift Maine’s youth athletes through awards and scholarships, athletic equipment assistance for families in need, and youth camp enrollment opportunities. Though we tragically lost Jared to cancer at just 29, this foundation exists to carry forward his spirit, creating opportunities for the next generation and honoring his legacy for years to come.

Upcoming Events

The Jared Pelletier Memorial Foundation’s Annual Pond Hockey Classic & Community Skate Fundraiser is our flagship event, bringing together athletes, families, and community members in celebration of sport, connection, and legacy. Held at Norway Savings Bank Arena in Auburn, Maine, this pond hockey–style 3-on-3 tournament is paired with a family open skate fundraiser featuring raffles, family games, and community activities for all ages.

Our inaugural event on December 22, 2023 surpassed expectations, raising over $10,000 to support our mission. Since our founding in October 2023, the foundation has now generated more than $15,000 in total donations, directly supporting youth athletes through awards, equipment funding, and camp scholarships.

We are proud to host our second annual event on Sunday, April 26 from 11:00 AM to 3:30 PM, and we invite you to be part of this growing tradition. You can support the foundation by registering to play in the tournament, volunteering at the event, sharing the event page, contributing raffle donations, donating to our GoFundMe, or simply attending and being part of the day.

Together, we continue building a legacy that invests in the next generation of athletes. Please see the forms below to register for the tournament or sign up to volunteer.
