Play For Jade Events Inc. is an endeavor created by the parents of Jade Lee Marasigan who tragically lost her battle with Major Depressive Disorder and Social Anxiety at the age of 17. As a registered California non-profit, we host fundraiser events as a tribute to Jade and to help raise awareness of the importance of teen mental health and suicide prevention. Net profits will go directly to the Jade Lee Marasigan Charitable Fund at the Northridge Hospital Foundation. The Charity provides individualized guidance for families, accessibility to treatment, and financial assistance for those at-risk patients who are in need of continuation of care for their mental health, as well as community resources for wellness programs. We're committed to providing hope for better outcomes.

We believe that there is a better way. To that end, we have been working on a partnership to provide a new community resource that may empower and help adolescents navigate their mental health journeys. 

From Jade's experience, we are familiar with the psychiatric medication challenges to help manage one's daily emotional balance as one component of her treatment. The status quo, trial-and-error process of being prescibed medications by her providers and wait for something to work was painfully slow, drawn out, and frustrating. Sadly, Jade's depression and anxiety spiraled and her hope diminished after efforts to give her lasting relief to manage her of her pain were ineffective. In spite of her valiant daily battles, she believed that she was broken. We know others who have endured very similar frustrations. The system needs to change.

On Monday October 13, 2025, we returned to DeBell Golf Club for the 3rd Annual Golf For Jade Fundraiser! With the implementation of a playoff in the golf format, and the introduction of the first-ever Golf Ball Derby, there was added excitement to the event!

There was rain in the forecast but it held back long enough for ideal golf weather — cool, partly cloudy and a little bit of wind. It was definitely a fun day out on the course with returning players and new supporters in the field! Thank you to all who participated and to all the sponsors and our community donors who contributed raffle and auction items! As a combined effort, we raised over $22,000 and will be donating the net proceeds to Jade's Charity!

We were deeply saddened to find that on May 20, 2025, a brilliant young spirit left this world too soon after battling with depression and anxiety — one who coincidentally shares Jade's Birthday. As a tribute, her family has chosen to honor Sinthia Cardenas' life by fundraising to benefit a mental health organization that can make a meaningful impact. We are honored that the Cardenas family reached out and started a GoFundMe campaign to raise money to support Play For Jade Events Inc. 100% of the money transferred will be donated directly to the Jade Lee Marasigan Charitable Fund at the Northridge Hospital Foundation in Sinthia's name.
