The Tom Coughlin Jay Fund Foundation was created in 1996 in the honor of Jay McGillis.  Jay was a very special young man who developed leukemia while a member of the football team at Boston College.  Tom Coughlin was inspired by the courage, compassion and faith he and his family demonstrated during the course of his illness.  Coughlin witnessed first hand the financial and emotional struggles the family suffered through and vowed to help people in the same situation if he ever had the opportunity.

The mission of the Tom Coughlin Jay Fund Foundation is to assist children with leukemia and other cancers and their families by providing emotional and financial support to help reduce the stress associated with treatment and improve their quality of life.

The Tom Coughlin Jay Fund Foundation announces it’s “Now and Forever” Campaign. Our goal is to raise $5 million in endowed support to sustain the foundation now and in the future. This fund will be kept permanently invested to generate income for grant making in Jacksonville. Click here for more information
