About the JR Foundation

About the JR Foundation

Honoring a Legacy. Fighting for a Future Without Epilepsy.
At the JR Foundation, we are more than a nonprofit—we are a movement of hope, awareness, and action. Founded in memory of Christopher Lee Kraft Jr., our mission is to turn loss into lasting impact by raising epilepsy awareness, funding research, and supporting families affected by this condition. Epilepsy affects over 500,000 Floridians and 3.4 million Americans—yet it remains misunderstood, underfunded, and often overlooked. The JR Foundation is committed to changing that. Through fundraising, education, and community outreach, we work to ensure that no family faces epilepsy alone.

Our Story: Honoring Christopher Lee Kraft Jr.

The JR Foundation was born from tragedy but fueled by love.
Christopher Lee Kraft Jr. was a vibrant, kindhearted, and ambitious individual. He grew up with a passion for cars, family, and bringing people together. A proud graduate of Florida State University School and the National Automobile Dealers Association, he was preparing to follow in his father’s footsteps in the automotive industry. Chris Jr. had a gift for making people feel like family—his laughter, kindness, and energy were contagious. In February 2022, Chris Jr. unexpectedly passed away due to an epileptic seizure. His family and loved ones were devastated, but they knew his story couldn’t end there. They turned their grief into action, founding the JR Foundation to raise epilepsy awareness and ensure that no other family would suffer such a loss without hope for change.
