Today (July 19, 2017), on the one-year anniversary of Jack’s death, we honor him with the launch of The Jack Strong Foundation. Jack had an enormous heart full of kindness. He visited and encouraged other children in the hospital, sharing smiles and delivering hope. He brought communities and thousands of people from all over the world together with his journey, and for this reason, we honor his legacy and continue to fight. When Jack was diagnosed in 2013, we discovered the impact that treatment for pediatric cancer can cause a family emotionally and financially. Families find that their regular income has to be reallocated on things like medical expenses, medications that aren’t covered by insurance, lodging, and travel expenses. The Jack Strong Foundation seeks to continue his legacy through fundraising efforts that support families who have been impacted by childhood cancer by assessing needs and providing financial aid and awareness. When you visit, jackstrong.org, you’ll find personal stories, photos and video, coverage of families The Jack Strong Foundation is supporting, and resources on childhood cancer statistics and treatment. You can safely and securely purchase t-shirts and bracelets in our online shop, share your Jack Strong story, or donate to the foundation. The Jack Strong Foundation is a 501 c3 non-profit organization and is governed by both state and federal law. All donations are 100% tax deductible, and will help children and their families who are fighting cancer every day. We are 100% volunteer based. Each dollar that you donate goes directly into The Jack Strong Foundation to fund our programs.
