Congratulations to Jennifer Oldham, one of our 20 Outstanding Women of 2026!
Listen to Jennifer’s full interview with Blake and Kelly below:
Jennifer has shown remarkable strength and compassion after the tragic loss of her daughter, Hallie. In her nine short years, Hallie left a lasting impact through her kindness. She chose to donate to animal shelters instead of receiving birthday gifts, was a caring friend and teammate, and helped adopt families in need during the holidays.
Within a year of Hallie’s passing, Jennifer founded an organization in her honor dedicated to spreading kindness. Guided by Hallie’s words, “Stand tall and brave,” Jennifer continues this mission alongside her daughter, Kylie. Each year their efforts grow, reaching more people in meaningful ways.
The organization supports the community through scholarships for high school seniors who demonstrate kindness and sportsmanship, sponsoring families during the holidays, recognizing teachers and EMS workers with acts of appreciation, and sponsoring local youth teams. They also present a “Kindness Keeper” award to young athletes who model teamwork and compassion.
Jennifer shares her story through support groups and podcasts to help others facing loss. Through “Kindness Keepers for Hallie” cards, she encourages a ripple effect, reminding others that even small acts of kindness can make a powerful difference.
