Jacks Basket

Katie Burwell (Affleck) is the Director of Development at Jack’s Basket, a nonprofit dedicated to providing free baskets to families of babies with Down syndrome from diagnosis or birth up to the baby’s first birthday. She is also a Basket Delivery Parent (BDP), delivering baskets to families in her community and connecting with parents outside her area. 

Originally from Massachusetts, Katie has lived in Texas since 2007. She built a successful career in Talent Acquisition before transitioning into nonprofit leadership. Her personal journey took a pivotal turn when her daughter Tatum was diagnosed with Down syndrome. This experience deeply influenced her mission and led her to join Jack’s Basket.
