Supporting Families with Children Suffering from Cancer

The Tom Coughlin Jay Fund Foundation was created in 1996 in the honor of Jay McGillis.  Jay was a very special young man who developed leukemia while a member of the football team at Boston College.  Tom Coughlin was inspired by the courage, compassion and faith he and his family demonstrated during the course of his illness.  Coughlin witnessed first hand the financial and emotional struggles the family suffered through and vowed to help people in the same situation if he ever had the opportunity.

The mission of the Tom Coughlin Jay Fund Foundation is to assist children with leukemia and other cancers and their families by providing emotional and financial support to help reduce the stress associated with treatment and improve their quality of life.

Now and Forever

Endowment Campaign

The Jay Fund’s Board of Directors approved the Now and Forever Endowment Campaign in 2007.  We successfully raised $5 million dollars of funding to continue the Jay Fund’s mission to provide financial and emotional assistance to families in the Jacksonville community in perpetuity.  This campaign yields funds, which are kept permanently invested, to generate income for grantmaking to  be used to ensure that The Jay Fund can meet the direct financial and emotional needs of future Jacksonville community families affected by childhood cancer.  One-hundred percent (100%) of the income from the endowment will be used to support families in the Jacksonville area.  None of the funds raised from this campaign will be used for operating expenses.
