Our Leader's Got Somethin' to Say.

A message from Kyle Woody, a Jack's Founder & Executive Director

Dear friends,
 
I'm excited to announce that I've gone to work for Jack's full time, continuing to lead the organization as I have since 2014 when we were founded.  It's my hope this news will further inspire all of you that have joined us in our mission, we want you all to know how serious Jack's is.  Our mission is no longer just something we work on during nights and weekends or when it's "convenient."  It's something we're always working on.
 
Our recent "Extreme Sandbox" program in October is a perfect reminder of why we exist.  We had the privilege of bringing a group of men together who've collectively had decades of experience caring for their loved ones with cancer.  A group of men who haven't, until Jack's came along, had a community for them.  Jack's understands what the powerless frustration caused by losing control to cancer does to a man.  So we gave these men the controls of powerful machines and challenged them to annihilate the "Cancer Car".  They didn't disappoint!  What we do is simple really - our hospitality brings these men together, and together they improve.
