The resolution designates October 12 of each year as Jump4Jerry Day in New Jersey to honor the memory and contributions of Jeremiah Prince Bee Grant, affectionately known as Jerry. Jerry was a remarkable young athlete and community advocate who tragically lost his life at the age of 8 in 2017. He was a champion Double Dutch jumper, recognized for his exceptional skills and achievements, including a notable performance on the Jimmy Fallon TV show. His dedication to community service and youth empowerment through sports left a lasting impact, leading to the establishment of the nonprofit organization Jump4Jerry, which aims to inspire children to develop life skills, confidence, and leadership.

The resolution calls upon the Governor to issue an annual proclamation encouraging citizens and officials to observe Jump4Jerry Day with appropriate activities and programs that reflect Jerry's legacy. This initiative not only commemorates Jerry's short but impactful life but also promotes the values of teamwork, sportsmanship, and community engagement that he embodied. The designation of this day serves as a reminder of the importance of nurturing young talent and fostering a sense of community among the youth.
