About the Jason Awards
The Jason Awards, established by Children’s Square U.S.A. in the early 1990s, celebrate individuals and organizations who exemplify the values of caring, contribution and commitment—the very heart of our mission. Named in honor of a statue of four-year-old Jason Schumann, a student whose likeness came to symbolize the spirit and promise of youth, the awards reflect our belief in nurturing the potential within every child.
More than a recognition ceremony, the Jason Awards have become a cherished annual tradition in our community. Each year, we gather to honor those who demonstrate the vision, courage and will to embrace life’s challenges and opportunities—inspiring others through service, leadership and compassion. The event also serves as a vital fundraiser, helping sustain and expand the programs that support children and families across our region.
Through the Jason Awards, we celebrate not only the achievements of remarkable individuals, but also the enduring hope and resilience of the children we serve.
