September is Childhood Cancer Awareness Month
Each year in the U.S., more than 15,000 children are diagnosed with cancer. Childhood cancer can be debilitating for patients and families, leaving them drained physically, financially and emotionally.
Team up with the Tom Coughlin Jay Fund this month to support these families in their time of need.
-
Show Us Your Team. Coach Coughlin has always said no one fights childhood cancer alone—it takes a team. That's why Coach and Eli Manning are teaming up and asking friends, families, and fans to light-up Twitter, Facebook and Instagram with positivity and photos showing their team. It can be a photo of family, teammates, or co-workers, anyone who motivates you! More info below on how it works.

Join Coach's Fitness Challenge. Log your fitness activities in September, and you’ll earn points while raising money and awareness for the Tom Coughlin Jay Fund so we can provide families with financial, emotional and practical support as they face the unthinkable.
