In Loving Memory of Jason Collins

We are deeply saddened by the loss of Point Foundation's Honorary Board Member Jason Collins. Jason was a trailblazer, advocate, and extraordinary supporter of Point, whose courage and authenticity helped advance visibility and acceptance for LGBTQ+ people in sports and beyond.

After more than a decade together, Collins married film producer Brunson Green in May 2025 at a ceremony in Austin, TX. Later reflecting on the experience, Collins shared with ESPN, “In May I married the love of my life, Brunson Green, at a ceremony in Austin, Texas, that couldn't have been more perfect.”

Your gift in memory of Jason today celebrates his life and honors his dedication to the LGBTQ+ and ally community and helps establish the Jason Collins Scholarship.
