Mission Statement
Our mission is to: 1) Create moments of joy and comfort for pediatric cancer and blood disorder patients and their families. 2) Fund world-class pediatric cancer research, inclusive of underrepresented research and medical scholars. 3) Engage youth and diverse communities in activities to expand pediatric cancer awareness and empowerment to cure cancer.
About This Cause
Courtney Jones Care and Cure Foundation (CJCAC) is a local grassroots, 501(c)(3) nonprofit established to support the emotional well-being of children and their families enduring pediatric cancer and/or blood disorder treatment. We provide moments of joy, support, and hope to children and their families in the midst of fighting life-threatening illnesses. Our organization funds inclusive pediatric cancer research, supporting underrepresented scholars emerging into cancer research and medical oncology fields. These students are led by world-class scholars within the Case Comprehensive Cancer Center's multi-institutional research consortium. Of all cancer funding in the USA, pediatric cancer funding remains overwhelmingly inadequate to address the unique needs of our most vulnerable population. Courtney Jones Care and Cure Foundation provides children with our signature "Comfort Cases" which gifts a rolling suitcase filled with an assortment of essential toiletry items, extended phone chargers, lap desks, sleeping eye masks, craft items, writing journals, online retail gift cards useful for shopping directly from the hospital bed, and more. These cases provide useful items necessary for extended and frequent hospital visits. Comfort Cases are just right for transporting pajamas, best friend stuffed animals, or toys with dignity. Courtney Jones Care and Cure Foundation's services are engaged directly by children's hospital staff. Social workers and child life specialists make regular requests to our charity on behalf of the special needs of children, teens, young adults, and their families. Adopting families for holiday giving, family movie nights, sports team watch party food for patients and caregivers, emergency bill relief, terminal patient family memories photoshoots, and much more. Courtney Jones Care and Cure Foundation is led by a diverse team of all-volunteer professionals, community leaders, and parents, committed to enriching the lives of children and their families suffering from a cancer diagnosis. Please help us do more. Thank You. Alisha M. Jones Founder/Executive Director Courtney Jones Care and Cure Foundation
