ABOUT US
JBMF is a non-profit organization based out of Calgary Alberta. Our memorial fund promotes mental wellness in the snowboard community by providing fun focused events and awards that celebrate rad attitudes over results.
Our founders are athletes, coaches and parents of riders that are passionate about snowboarding and mental health in our youth. We see snowboarding as creative outlet and an activity for life.
GOLDEN GLOVE PROGRAM
We've got some rad mitts from our friends at Salmon Arms!
For every pair purchased, we put 100% of the profits back into our Golden Glove Program to celebrate snowboarding.
Riders can be nominated by coaches, clubs and we will be at youth focused events awarding the Golden Gloves to groms that exemplify the spirit of JBMF.
SNOWBOARDING SAVES SPEAKER SERIES
We have developed a Speaker Series geared to riders, coaches and parents to learn more about mental health and wellness from experts in their field. Subscribe to our YouTube channel and check out our events page
vibe check
The vibe check is designed to spark real conversations around mental health in a simple, low-pressure way.
Inspired by the mental health continuum, the pin breaks feelings into relatable language — from Stoked to Cooked — helping people recognize where they’re at and check in with friends, teammates, and yourself.
We've designed a pin and developing a self-assessment tool that are meant to make mental wellness feel approachable instead of clinical.
Check Your Vibe
🟢 Stoked 🟡 Feeling Off 🟠 Struggling 🔴 Cooked
Some days you drop in feeling locked, loose and dialled.
Other days the conditions are rough, your head's not right, and nothing flows. That's not weakness — that's being human.
The question is: do you know where you're at right now?
For self-awareness only - not a clinical assessment
