September is Childhood Cancer Awareness Month

Every day in the United States 42 families learn that their child has cancer. To mark this awareness month and underscore the challenges families face when a child has a life-threatening disease, the Tom Coughlin Jay Fund Foundation is offering multiple ways for YOU to get involved this September:
  • Sign-up to receive our newsletter and follow us on social @tcjayfund
  • Make a gift to the foundation to help us support families as they tackle pediatric cancer
  • Participate - attend or support an Impact Player Event, also known as a third party fundraiser. See the list below!

Give the gift of food security


September is also Food Action Month. The USDA estimates 38.3 million people live in food-insecure households, including 6.1 million children. It’s difficult to imagine anyone going hungry, but it is a stark reality for those who do. The Jay Fund saw a 52% increase in requests for financial need during the height of the pandemic, and once again, we are seeing these numbers on the rise. 
If you would like to make a gift for a grocery gift card click here or consider hosting an impact player event and creating a grocery gift card drive that will help families in NY, NJ, and Jacksonville, FL keep their pantries stocked so they can BE THERE for their sick child.
