The Eye family recently spent four magical days in Lido Key, Florida, and our hearts are full. 💚

From relaxing days on the beach to fun-filled evenings exploring the area, the Eye's Oncologist prescribed timeout from cancer was made possible by the generosity and goodwill of our incredible WOW! Partners.

We are deeply grateful for everyone who made this WOW! Experience a reality:

✈️ American Airlines for your continued support and flying the Eye family to and from Sarasota.
🏘 Equity Estates for your ongoing generosity hosting our sweet JAJF families year after year.
🚗 Hertz for always making it easy for our families to move around and explore while traveling.
🌅 Beach Bum Charters for an unforgettable private sunset cruise on the Gulf.
📸 Avisual Photo & Video Sarasota • Tampa • Naples - Families & Spaces for beautifully capturing memories this family will treasure forever.

To our partners and donors, this is your impact. A family, together, making memories... while they can.

CANCER DOES NOT STOP; NOR WILL JAJF.

Happy Birthday Coca-Cola! As JAJF marks its own 20th anniversary of treating the families, not the cancer, we've come to realize we're both in the family memory business.

Coca-cola has said is across generations: Things Go Better with Coke, It's the Real Thing, Have a Coke and Smile, You Can't Beat the Feeling, Open Happiness, and Taste the Feeling.

And at JAJF, we say: The best part of memories is making them, and Memories become our greatest inheritance.

Different missions, same heart.❣️ May we both continue to provide (refreshing) WOW! Experiences and SMILES. 😃

Still searching for the perfect Mother's Day gift? 🌸 Consider one that not only gives back but creates memories for two families at once.

When you make a donation to JAJF in honor of the Mom in your life, you're helping fund a WOW! Experience for a family facing late stage cancer.

We take care of every detail, from flights and accommodations to meals and activities, so a Mom (or Dad) fighting for her life can fully and joyfully create lasting memories with her children.

And we make it personal for your family too. Tell us who you're honoring and we'll send a heartfelt message directly to them.

Mother's Day is this Sunday. There's still time to make your tribute gift:

Jack & Jill Late Stage Cancer Foundation celebrates Moms all year long. But during the month of May, we give a little extra appreciation for Moms everywhere and hope you’ll join us in saying thanks.

Mother's Day is one week away.

For many of us, finding the right gift for Mom means searching for something that really says: I see you. I love you. I'm grateful for you.

This year, give a gift that does just that. A donation in honor of Mom to the Jack & Jill Late Stage Cancer Foundation is a gift that sends sweet families on an unforgettable journey.

A young Mom battling late stage cancer receives an Oncologist-prescribed timeout—and for a few precious days, she gets to just be Mom. Present. Laughing. Making memories with her children that will last a lifetime.

That is a gift worth giving. And when you donate in honor of your Mom, Grandma, or the mother figure in your life, we'll send a personal tribute message to whoever you designate. 💝 Learn more: https://www.jajf.org/mothers-day/

Behind every WOW! Experience that JAJF plans, there's a company that said yes.

Yes to providing flights, hotel stays, theme park tickets and dinners. Yes to providing unforgettable moments for families with a young Mom or Dad facing a late stage cancer diagnosis.

Our work wouldn't be possible with the generosity and goodwill of our corporate WOW! Partners.

Whether your company is looking for a partnership that moves people, an employee giving initiative that everyone can relate to or an easy way to put your values into action, we'd love to talk.

When the Candeloro family was prescribed to us by their Oncologist, they were deep in the weight of a late-stage cancer diagnosis. What they needed was a chance to just be a family again.

That's exactly what their WOW! Experience gave them.

In this brief From the Heart video, hear directly from the sweet Candeloro family about what their timeout from cancer meant to them—the laughter, the adventure, the deep emotions of simply being together somewhere beautiful, without an appointment or a treatment in sight.

If you believe every family deserves a timeout from cancer, consider supporting JAJF: https://www.jajf.org/donate/
