About Us
In 2021, our family’s “sunshine” was changed as we confronted fears of the unimaginable. Our dear Jaclyn — wife, daughter, sister, granddaughter, niece, cousin, and precious friend — was diagnosed with a rare form of cancer. Shortly afterward, two other cornerstones of the family — Joseph Pelosi Sr. and John Micheletti — were also diagnosed with cancer.
In 2024, Joseph Pelosi Sr. and Jaclyn Bagdasarian (Micheletti) completed their purposes with impactful contributions to this world – blessing many during their journeys. Now, they share in the Glory of God with those who have gone Home before us – celebrating the greatest “Gala” that will ever be!
Our families wish to honor the lives of Jaclyn and Joe Sr. by continuing to spread their “sunshine” with those challenged by what our family has undertaken.

The “U R My Sunshine Foundation” is a 501 (c)(3) organization in the state of Rhode Island, run by volunteers. The organization was founded to continue spreading the sunshine that these two family members emitted on this Earth, until they took their last breaths at the ages of 31 and 60.
Through Sunshine Galas, we aspire to fulfill our mission: together, we are supporting families who are overwhelmed while enduring the unimaginable.
