Courage. “To me the more important courage isn’t the heroic kind. Because we have the opportunity to practice the less flashy ordinary kind of courage every day. Ordinary courage requires us to speak openly and honestly about how we’re feeling and about who we really are deep down inside. Ordinary courage happens when we’re afraid and yet we still take the actions our values require of us.” -Kyle Woody, Founder
“Sarah Manes was at the table when the concept of Jack’s was just a glimmer in our eye. And she’s been a fierce advocate for us ever since. In 2022 she became a lot more involved in the day to day and was leading multiple campaigns for us. Because of her gift for connecting and supporting people she soon found herself leading our largest fund-raising campaign of the year on top of everything else. And under her leadership the campaign grew and grew and before long it turned into a really big deal that a lot of huge-hearted people were highly invested in. That’s when her moment of courage came. She reached out and shared how she was really feeling about the campaign. She shared that the work was overwhelming her and she needed help. I know Sarah extremely well and I know how hard that was for her. And we did help. I believe a direct result of this simple, yet radical act of courage was the campaign turning into our most successful ever by every measure. Her courage resulted in the team achieving 150% of the fundraising goal, as well as raising 376% more than we did the year before. I believe many of us could experience similar results in our own lives if we lived them as courageously as Sarah Manes lives hers.” - Kyle Woody
