Kids with cancer and blood disorders still want to be kids. Treatment takes courage, perseverance, cutting-edge research, and community support

Patient Care:   

Your donation gives kids rolling luggage filled with necessities for frequent/extended hospital visits, electronics, games, toys, sports equipment, streaming movie & music service subscriptions, room storage & decor items, books & journals, clothing,  restaurant/online-shopping gift cards, joyful experiences, and group meals for the entire pediatric oncology/hematology department!

Inclusive Research:

Your support provides opportunities for young scholars to conduct mentored pediatric cancer research through Case Western Reserve University- Case Comprehensive Cancer Center's esteemed doctors and scientists. We fund the Courtney Jones Cancer Research Clinical Fellow in the Huang Laboratory at CWRU. 

    Courtney Jones Care and Cure Foundation has funded $75,000 for the Courtney Jones Summer Scholars Cancer Research Program, and the Courtney Jones Pediatric Cancer Fellows Program. The program seeks to fund enriching, diverse, and inclusive research opportunities for students ranging from high school through MD/PhD programs.  Every year, we expand our commitment to pediatric cancer research.

Awareness:

Students are the best ambassadors for sharing the message that cancers affecting children, teens, and young adults need more support. Clubs, teams, philanthropic foundations, and business/corporate entities demonstrate generosity and community engagement when partnering with us for holiday giving initiatives, "Help Now Emergency Support" initiatives, event sponsorships, gift card drives, and more.

Message from Courtney's Mom:     The Courtney Jones Care and Cure Foundation was born from the prayers of my daughter, Courtney Alana-Joy Jones. She was a Twinsburg, Ohio, 6th-grade student. She was a kind, loving, fun, smart, and compassionate child. She gave everything 110%. I could go on and on about my daughter.

    When Courtney didn't feel well enough to attend dance classes or karate, doctors thought she was battling a winter sinus infection.  After multiple doctor visits, we were directed to the emergency room for further tests. Seemingly out of nowhere, we were struck with the horror of hearing that our child has leukemia. It was scary, overwhelming, confusing, and traumatizing. We immediately poured into prayer and reached out for all signs of hope. The love and support of family, friends, and community surrounded Courtney. 

    Courtney immediately received treatment for high-risk acute T-cell lymphoblastic leukemia at UH Rainbow Babies and Children's Hospital. While confined to the hospital, Courtney watched other kids suffer through their cancer battles while she suffered through her own. Courtney wanted to give kids like her moments of joy, hope, and comfort.  She needed those things too.

    Courtney had a plan and set out on her mission to make the journey through cancer less awful. The thought of children dying because of a lack of funding for pediatric cancer research didn't make sense to Courtney. I could not possibly explain to her why there are not enough resources to allow children to enjoy a long lifetime full of birthdays. It didn't make sense to her, and it should not make sense to anyone. Courtney remained confident that she would be cured. Sadly, the cure did not come for Courtney, and her mission continues. 

    I founded the Courtney Jones Care and Cure Foundation to make sure that my daughter's dream becomes a reality and her legacy. That legacy involves:

• Funding pediatric cancer research involving dedicated scientists, capable of expanding traditional roles and representation in science and medicine.
• Providing resources and experiences to children, teens, and young adults to uplift,  encourage, and give them joyful moments, and,
• Expand pediatric cancer awareness in diverse communities, empowering youth and adults to champion philanthropic initiatives to end cancer.

    To my daughter Courtney, I love you.  To everyone else, please know that we are fighting for you and the people you love.  We need your support, and I hope that you will join us in the fight to end pediatric cancer and blood disorders, for good.

Sincerely,

       COMFORT CASES BRING JOY, SMILES, and SUPPORT

What makes Courtney Jones Care and Cure Foundation different from other cancer organizations? We are a small charity. We maintain direct contact with hematology/oncology medical teams, identifying children and families in need. We act on those requests with the sense of urgency that delicate lives require.

Courtney Jones Care and Cure Foundation supplies Comfort Cases to participating hospitals to make sure that patients have items they will need, but may not have immediate access to, or resources to obtain. Support is all year round. Holidays highlight additional needs to support entire families. 

Courtney Jones Care and Cure Foundation enlists students and young people as an essential part of spreading the message of hope and healing. 

Our pediatric cancer nonprofit has a leadership team of diverse professionals. We are committed to representation in building bridges across the myriad of communities to strengthen the Courtney Jones Cancer Care and Cure Community.

The Courtney Jones Care and Cure Foundation was established to continue Courtney’s bold dream of helping children and families, as they battle against cancer and fight for a cure. Courtney’s dreams and the compassion of her school community continues to fuel the growth and impact of this 100% volunteer-run Foundation.

The power of friends, families, and groups, joined together, will make a difference in the lives of these brave children. Engage in the fight. Build a team of care partners. This Foundation is You!
