Mission Statement of The Jory Strong Project
In memory of Jory Kurkjian, whose vibrant spirit and profound faith left an indelible mark on all who knew him, The Jory Strong Project endeavors to embody the courage, strength, and compassion that defined Jory’s life. At the age of 31, Jory’s journey on this earth concluded in a valiant battle against pancreatic cancer, but his legacy endures through our commitment to advancing pancreatic cancer awareness and supporting research for a cure.
Jory was more than his passions and achievements; he was a beacon of light and hope, a dedicated husband, a loving father to two, and a cherished brother, son, and friend. Renowned for his leadership, unyielding faith, and the joy he brought to every gathering, Jory's life was a testament to the power of living with purpose and love. His fervor for life was paralleled only by his dedication to his family, faith, and the pursuit of helping others find their spiritual path in Christ.
The Jory Strong Project is a celebration of life, a beacon of hope, and a vessel for change. Through annual events that unite the community with activities for all ages, from silent auctions to family fun days, we not only celebrate Jory's memory but also raise critical funds for pancreatic cancer research. Our mission extends beyond awareness; it is a call to action to support those battling this disease and to invest in the scientific advancements that will one day lead to a cure.
But our vision does not stop at cancer awareness. In alignment with Jory’s unwavering faith, The Jory Strong Project is deeply committed to spreading the word of God and the transformative power of faith. Through initiatives like Bible giveaways and the sharing of Jory’s personal journey of belief and strength, we aim to inspire others to explore and embrace their spiritual journey.
The Jory Strong Project stands as a living tribute to a man whose life was a testament to strength in faith and the joy of giving. In carrying forward his legacy, we commit to fighting pancreatic cancer and nurturing the seed of faith in our community, one heart at a time. Join us in our mission to create a world where Jory’s light continues to shine, illuminating paths of hope, healing, and faith for others.
