Creating brighter communities through kindness

Jorden Lee Puskar was a son, grandson, brother, nephew, and friend whose life was tragically taken away from us far too early by senseless gun violence. This innocent young man was in the wrong place at the wrong time.

They say a person's footprint on this earth is measured by how many people come to their funeral. At 21, Jorden's was huge, with over 1,000 family and friends attending to honor him. We came together knowing that his death would not be forgotten or in vain, and the Flashlight Foundation was formed. Flashlight was Jorden's nickname, one inspired long ago by a marvel movie he watched with his mother.

Our Mission

The Flashlight Foundation is on a mission to uplift lives through simple, meaningful acts of kindness. We believe these small moments of generosity can spark lasting change, strengthen communities, inspire connection, and encourage others to keep their light shining.
