This September, Team Jakey will host the 13th Annual Team Jakey Fest — Featuring Live Music and The Mike Otten Memorial Cornhole Tournament — an event created to honor the life of Jake Zeller, who died by suicide in 2013. What began as a tribute has grown into a powerful movement dedicated to Ending the Stigma
around mental illness and suicide, saving lives, and strengthening our community through open conversation, education, and access to care.
OUR MISSION
Team Jakey aims to save lives and End the
Stigma around mental illness and suicide through
community engagement and events that promote
resilience, encourage dialogue, and ensure
access to mental health resources.
OUR VISION
A world that prioritizes mental health, where
support is accessible to all, and where open,
compassionate conversations lead to hope
and healing/
IMPACT
Since our founding, Team Jakey has raised over
$500,000 to support mental health awareness,
education, and treatment in the St. Louis region.
Proceeds from this year’s event will benefit:
• The Team Jakey Foundation – advancing
mental health education, community outreach,
and engagement
• AFSP Missouri and Provident Behavioral
Health – supporting life-saving programs,
training, and direct services across the
metro area
HOW YOU CAN HELP
We invite your company to join us as a sponsor or
contribute raffle/auction items (goods or services) for our
400+ attendees. Your support allows us to reach more people,
educate more families, and create a community where no one
struggles alone.
Even helping one person choose life is a victory.
Preventing one family’s heartbreak is a victory.
Together, we can create change.
Thank you for your consideration
and for standing with us.
My name is Sam Zeller, and I help lead Team Jakey, a nonprofit created in 2013 after the suicide death of my twin brother, Jake. Since then, our mission has been to save lives and end the stigma around mental illness and suicide by funding education, awareness, and treatment programs right here in the St. Louis area. Over the past decade, with the support of our community, we’ve raised more than $400,000 to benefit organizations like the AFSP and Provident Behavioral Health, helping to expand local resources, provide life-saving trainings, and ensure people have access to care.
At its heart, Team Jakey serves as a bridge. We know that many people struggling with mental health challenges hesitate to reach out for help, often because of fear, uncertainty, or the stigma that still surrounds mental illness. That hesitation can create a dangerous gap between the individuals who need support and the professionals who are trained to provide life-saving care.
Team Jakey works to close that gap. Through community events, awareness campaigns, and partnerships with organizations like the AFSP and Provident Behavioral Health, we create safe, approachable spaces where conversations about mental health can begin. By normalizing those conversations and fostering openness, we help individuals take the first step, from silence and fear toward connection and hope.
Once that step is taken, we help them find a pathway to specialized care. Our fundraising directly supports education, resources, and treatment programs in the St. Louis area, so that when someone is ready to reach out, the help they need is accessible.
In short, Team Jakey connects the courage to ask for help with the professionals who can provide it — turning awareness into action, and action into lives saved.

ABOUT
The Team Jakey Foundation was founded in 2014 after losing Jake Zeller to suicide.
As a way to honor Jake, the Zeller family came together and hosted the inaugural Gentleman Jake Memorial Cornhole Tournament that brought friends and family together and raised $2,400 for the American Foundation for Suicide Prevention (AFSP).
Over ten years later, Team Jakey fights to End the Stigma with community events, local partnerships, and speaking engagements. Team Jakey has raised over $400,000 for the AFSP and Provident Behavioral Health in St. Louis.
