COLUMBIA, S.C. (WIS) - Family and friends of the 12-year-old who died from a rare brain-eating amoeba infection this summer will gather this weekend to honor him.

On Oct. 4, members of the community will gather at Altitude Trampoline Park from 5 p.m. to 8 p.m. to celebrate the life and legacy of Jaysen Carr, a 12-year-old student at Hand Middle School who passed this summer on what would have been his 13th birthday.

Jaysen's parents, Ebony and Clarence Carr, previously sat down with WIS to discuss the life of Jaysen and their advocacy work to increase warnings and publicity about the risks that come with swimming in warm water.

Jaysen's father, Clarence, said that the birthday party is open to the public and that Altitude was one of Jaysen's favorite places.

"We would like to invite the public, if you have a little one and if you have time, just come on out and allow them to be a kid," he said.

A portion of the proceeds from tickets purchased to jump will go toward a scholarship for a student athlete that was established in Jaysen's name.

His family has also established a foundation that funds the scholarship: the Jaysen Carr Be a Good Person Foundation.

On Oct. 18, a baseball tournament is also being held, with proceeds from that going toward funding research on locating the amoeba.
