The Need

As the only organization of its kind in the nation, the Jack & Jill Late Stage Cancer Foundation provides memory opportunities for children who have a Mom or Dad with late stage, limited life expectancy cancer. Thousands of Moms and Dads in their 20's, 30's, and 40's  with late stage cancer will die each year despite the advances in research.  These parents are leaving behind grieving children.

The Foundation flies in the face of Late Stage Cancer with smiles, joy, and a return to normalcy for these families. We are proud of our professional standing and the national praise and credibility we have received.

Contemplate how many children lose their Mom or Dad to cancer each year. They are losing their security blankets – their heroes. Please consider supporting the Jack & Jill Late Stage Cancer Foundation.

As Jill Albert said just weeks before she passed away: "The children need a break... they just need a break... and so do the parents. This Foundation needs to continue. It must."

The WOW!

A WOW! Experience is a unique, memorable getaway that allows the family to enjoy time with each other...while they can away from their new normal of living with the dire circumstances of late stage cancer.

Jack & Jill has sent families all over the nation and beyond to resorts, big cities, concerts, award shows, ball games, cruises, VIP tours, meet & greets and more wonderful experiences.

WOW! Experiences offer parents a timeout from the inevitable outlook of leaving behind their children and give the children a chance to have FUN, positive time as a family instead of the dread they face of losing their Mom or Dad.

When Mom or Dad dies prematurely, Memories become our greatest inheritance.

Visit the Family Photo Gallery to view photos of families on their WOW! Experience.  

Visit the Appreciation Archives to see the impact and "results" as measured by the sheer gratitude and appreciation these families express in their voice messages, written notes and thank you cards to The Foundation.
