The Best Event You’ll Never Have to Attend

Due to COVID-19, we had to cancel our biggest fundraiser of the year that normally takes place in August, our Breakfast Fundraiser. Instead of waiting until next year, we decided to take our fundraiser virtual! Now you can donate at anytime, from anywhere!

Please help us carry out our mission of providing six $3000 college/trade school scholarships to high school graduates whose parent was diagnosed with cancer. We are only able to do this because of generous donors like you! Plus, for this event you get a chance to win some exciting prizes!

How JPF Got Started

Our story begins more than seven years ago with a daughter and a dream. After losing her mother to Pancreatic Cancer in 2001, Jen Brouwer wanted to honor her mother’s memory by helping families who, like her and her mother, felt many emotional and financial hardships while facing the cancer battle.

While caring for her mother. Jen learned first hand that money saved for college tuition can quickly deplete to help pay for costly cancer treatments and hospital stays. Once that money is gone, many times the dreams of attending college are lost as well.

Since she founded this organization in 2007, we have been able to give $140,000 in scholarships and help 50 students in the Toledo area!
