Friends of Jack Foundation

The scorecards have been turned in, the carts are back in the barn, and now it’s time to relive an incredible day at the 2026 Friends of Jack Foundation Golf Tournament.

From the first tee shot to the afterparty, these photos capture the energy and fun that made this event so special.

Thank you again to every golfer, sponsor, volunteer, and supporter who helped us raise more than $35,000 for Pediatric Services at Southcoast Health.

For her senior project at Old Rochester Regional High School, Kaitlyn Rodrigues chose to spotlight the Friends of Jack Foundation.

As part of the project, Founder and President Jill Fearons visited the class to share the mission and impact of the foundation. Inspired to take action, the students packed nearly 350 Hero Bear kits that will be distributed to children at local hospitals.

We’re incredibly grateful to Kaitlyn for choosing us for her project, and to her classmates for their energy, compassion, and willingness to help others.

This story by Kait Walsh means so much to us. We do our best to fly under the radar with so much of what we do. But every once in a while, it is really important to remind all of our supporters and donors the impact that they are having on the community. The Friends of Jack is not just one person. It is a collective effort made up of like-minded people who want to make our little piece of the world better for children. We are so very proud to do this together.

A New Bedford hospital and a non-profit are teaming up to help the parents of kids undergoing medical treatments.
