Events With Jonathan creates access to live sports and entertainment for individuals and families who are often excluded from these experiences due to sensory, physical, or accessibility barriers. In partnership with the Kia Center, the Orlando Magic, and Levy Resturants, Jonathan’s Landing Foundation transforms corporate suites into welcoming, inclusive environments where individuals of all abilities can experience the joy of live events—comfortably, safely, and with dignity.
Jonathan’s Landing works directly with the Kia Center and generous suite owners who donate their suite spaces. We handle all logistics—from pre-event communication to suite access—so families can focus on enjoying the event, not navigating complexity.
Donate a SuiteSuite access is donated directly to schools and community organizations serving individuals with hidden and physical disabilities. Jonathan’s Landing coordinates distribution so organizations can offer a safe, inclusive experience to the families they support.
Attend an EventParticipating organizations simply distribute tickets to the individuals they serve and arrive at the venue to enjoy the game! Each experience includes tickets for participants and caregivers, food, water, and soft drinks, and sensory kits for sound and light sensitivity.
"The possibility and promise of what Events with Jonathan™️ can do for so many in our community to attend events they couldn’t access before is immense.”
Since its launch, Events With Jonathan at the Kia Center has hosted 63 live events, serving more than 1,142 individuals, partnering with 40+ schools and community organizations. What began as a pilot has grown into a powerful partnership with the Orlando Magic and Orlando Solar Bears—demonstrating how professional sports, community organizations, and corporate partners can work together to create truly inclusive access to live events. This partnership serves as a proof point for what’s possible today—and a model for future expansion into additional venues and markets.

The first time JLF Founder Jason attended a live event with his son Jonathan, the night was short. Within an hour, the noise, crowds, and sensory overload made it impossible to stay. Just a few years later, Jonathan was able to enjoy an entire concert by his favorite band, Journey—surrounded by a sold-out crowd at Camping World Stadium. What changed for Jonathan was the environment and the opportunity to acclimate over time. Through repeated Events With Jonathan experiences, Jonathan gained familiarity, confidence, and comfort in live-event settings—starting in spaces designed to reduce barriers rather than amplify them. That insight became Events With Jonathan: creating access through environment, familiarity, and thoughtful design.
Events With Jonathan will continue to evolve—expanding beyond access to become a bridge into workforce opportunity. The long-term vision includes deeper integration with training, certifications, and employment pathways connected to live entertainment and hospitality environments. These experiences are part of a larger, lifelong system designed to support adults as they explore interests, build skills, and pursue meaningful work. Future plans include structured learning environments, credential preparation, and direct workforce pipelines connected to these real-world settings, across the nation.
Jonathan's Landing Foundation is a 501c3 nonprofit engineering the future of live and work for adults with autism, intellectual and developmental disabilities, and other neurodiverisities.
