Helping special kiddos achieve more.
The Jiselle Lauren Foundation exists to provide financial support and a sense of community to as many children and their families as possible, regardless of disability or diagnosis.
Who Are We?
The Jiselle Lauren Foundation is a 501(c)(3) nonprofit organization that exists to advocate for, connect with, and provide opportunities for children with disabilities. Through generous donations and giving efforts, we are able to provide financial support to children and their families that allows them access to therapies, medical care, devices, equipment, transportation, and many other resources. Our purpose is to bring more joy to these kiddos and their families through everyday moments and experiences.
Miracle Behind Our Mission
We work to support families in the here and now, providing their children with opportunities and resources that have an immediate impact on their life. Of the funds donated to our organization, 90% goes directly back to the children and families we serve.
Scramble for smiles
Join us on March 30, 2026 for a fun-filled day out on the golf course playing to raise funds for kiddos with disabilities, giving them the opportunity to live life to the fullest.
Scramble for Smiles was an event inspired by our family’s love for golf and our desire to host a larger event to celebrate these special kiddos like our sweet Jiselle. In 2019, we gathered those closest to us for the first-ever scramble and now, the event has become an anticipated fundraiser in Franklin, TN every fall.

Our Mission and Story
The Jiselle Lauren Foundation was born from a desire to help a little girl live a life to her full potential. Jiselle's family realizes that they are fortunate to have a great support system for sweet Jiselle; They also know that many families facing disability are not so lucky.
This foundation was launched to help families in Middle Tennessee and beyond to meet the needs of their children with disabilities and help them live life to their full potential through financial and community support.
