Turning compassion into action

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.
