Suicide is now the third leading cause of death
for youth ages 10 \u2013 24, claiming more than 127 young lives each week in our nation. The Jason
Foundation\u2019s mission is to equip students, parents, teachers, and the community with the tools and
resources to help identify and assist youth and young adults at-risk for suicide. The Jason Foundation
has never charged for use of any of its programs, materials, or services. The money raised during this
event directly funds program development and distribution.
Phillip Fulmer has maintained his role as National Spokesperson for The Jason Foundation since 1998
while Head Football Coach at the University of Tennessee. This year\u2019s tournament will mark the 24th
year of Coach Fulmer hosting the tournament, which he has done every single year of its existence.
Chuck McDowell is the founder and CEO of Wesley Financial Group and Wesley Mortgage, both based in
Middle Tennessee. He is an entrepreneur who has spent the greater part of his long career focusing on
providing services that have positively impacted tens of thousands of families.
A quote from John Wesley is prominently displayed inside Wesley Mortgage that Chuck has turned into
its mission statement: \u201cDo all the good you can, by all the means you can, in all the ways you can, at all
the times you can, to all the people you can, as long as ever you can.\u201d
\u201cThat quote reflects my philosophy on life and serves as a motivation and inspiration for any project I\u2019m
involved in,\u201d said McDowell. \u201cPhil has been a long-time friend of mine and I believe deeply in the
mission of The Jason Foundation. Charlie Daniels and his great work for the foundation will never be
forgotten and I\u2019m humbled to step into his role to help raise much-needed funds.\u201d
\u201cCharlie was a staunch supporter of our mission and will always hold a special place in The Jason
Foundation\u2019s history,\u201d said Clark Flatt, President of The Jason Foundation. \u201cThat being said, we look
forward to energy and passion that Chuck brings. We plan on remembering Charlie, while creating a
tournament that he would be proud of.\u201d<\/p>\n\n\n\n
