Jackie Blanchard was a member of the arts programs in Assumption Parish Schools and was a wonderful member of the Pride of Sugarland Colorguard and Auxillary. She loved performing and was a bright light on the field and among her friends and family. Jackie had her vibrant life tragically taken from her in June of 1998 at the age of 31. In her honor, her son Jordan Pujol and his family have established this memorial scholarship with the help of AFTA. We couldn’t be more proud to be a part of Jackie’s memory and to aid Jordan in keeping his mother’s legacy alive.


This scholarship will have a preference to students participating in the Pride of Sugarland Colorguard, Auxillary, and Band. Jordan’s family will contribute to this scholarship fund each year and AFTA will accept donations on the family's behalf to add to that value. AFTA’s Board of Directors will provide recommendations to Jordan and his family, who will make the final decision on number of scholarships and amounts each year.


AFTA is a registered 501(c)(3) organization with the IRS and the State of Louisiana. All donations are tax deductible to the fullest extent of the law.

Jackie was one of a kind. I have so many good memories that involve her. I think of her often (and dream about her sometimes, too). This is a wonderful tribute to a bright light that continues to shine through the darkness.

I can’t think of a better way to help others while honoring a close friend and family member. We throw away money on such trivial things, it feels so rewarding to donate to something that will be put to good use!

Such a beautiful way to honor Jackie’s life. Her love for and service to others was evident in the way she lived her life and the legacy she left behind. She would be so happy about this scholarship and so proud of Jordy for honoring her in this way.

I'm a girl dad and former mat dad with a daughter who loved being in band and another who enjoyed several years in color guard and winter guard. Those were great times for our family, and I hope my small contribution helps others enjoy those high school years.
