Who We Are
The Tom Coughlin Jay Fund’s mission is clear: to help families tackle childhood cancer by providing financial, emotional and practical support.
When a child is diagnosed with cancer, families face more than medical treatments. They face skyrocketing bills, fear, and uncertainty. That’s why we’re in their corner. We step in so parents can focus on what matters most: their child’s well-being. With deep NFL ties and 31 years of impact, the Jay Fund ensures that trusted and meaningful support is available in the Jacksonville, New York and New Jersey areas we’re rooted in.
Our goal is to BE THERE for parents tackling the unthinkable, so they can BE THERE for their families.
What We Do
We offer support for rent/mortgage payments, utilities, transportation and groceries, so families can keep moving forward with a roof over their head and food on their table during a time of financial crisis.
We create moments of joy and relief–from family outings to special celebrations–giving kids and parents space to make memories together during the toughest times.
We help improve the experience inside treatment centers and ease everyday burdens, making the family’s cancer journey more manageable, because no one should face it alone.
Our Impact
Every number represents a family who didn’t face cancer alone.
