My name is Jacari Preston.

Many people know me as an athlete, coach, entrepreneur, and student. I've spent years focused on sports performance, education, and building a better future for myself and those around me.

Today, I am facing a legal battle that has created significant hardship. The allegations relate to events from 2024. To my understanding, the case proceeded through a (secret) indictment, and I was unaware of the indictment until I was taken into custody. Because the matter is ongoing, I will not be discussing the details of the case publicly.

What I can say is that I am committed to handling this situation responsibly through the legal process while continuing to move forward with my education, work, and personal growth.

To help cover legal expenses, I am personally making and selling açaí bowls every day toward a fundraising goal of $7,000.

If you would like to help, you can purchase an açaí bowl, contribute to this fundraiser, or share my story with others. Your support means more than words can express.
