Goal:
Raise $75,000 which will allow us to launch an entirely new program in 2023 we’re calling Sequel Makers. Many of the caregivers we've shown up for over the years are now in the new unchosen role of “former caregiver” after losing their loved one. (In fact, this is now the story of all three of Jack’s Founders.) This wasn’t the plan, but whether they like it or not, they are creating the next chapter of their life. They’re making their sequel. This is where you come in. With your financial support we will be able to better support those who have transitioned from “active caregiver” to “actively grieving”.
Program/Schedule of Events:
Wednesday, November 2nd, 6pm - 8pm
At PAIKKA (550 Vandalia St #165, St Paul, MN 55114.)

More about Sequel Makers:
Many of the caregivers we've shown up for over the years are now in the new unchosen role of “former caregiver” after losing their loved one. (In fact, this is now the story of all three of Jack’s Founders.) This wasn’t the plan, but we roll with it, right? Whether they like it or not, they are creating the next chapter of their life. They’re now making their sequel. Even though they probably really, really, really loved the original, first movie; they hope and pray that their sequel will be as good or better than the first. They hope they’re creating The Empire Strikes Back or Maverick or Godfather II--but hopefully NOT The Godfather III. While there may be the same setting, a new plot and the occasional new supporting characters, they are still the lead character in their continuing story.
And now they’re likely trying to answer different questions in their life, and needing a different kind of guidance and community from Jack’s with other Sequel Makers like themselves.
At Jack’s our mission is to improve the way guys think, feel, and act through every phase of their caregiving journey. The specific phase that we currently provide the least direct support may be the phase during which our support is needed most; the “sequel making” phase. This is where you come in. To launch this bold new branch of Jack’s and reach those who transitioned from “active caregiver” to “actively grieving,” we need your financial support. Join us for The Big GIVE Annual Fundraiser. With your help we can raise enough money to immediately launch this program in the Spring of 2023.
And now they’re likely trying to answer different questions in their life, and needing a different kind of guidance and community from Jack’s with other Sequel Makers like themselves.
- Like, “How do I help my friends or kids through grieving when I’m still grieving myself?”
- Or, “How do I possibly keep one foot in my original story and the other in this new sequel I’m making?”
- Or, “What do I do now that the meal train and well wishers have moved on with their busy lives?”
- Or, “Should I feel guilty about dating again? How does dating even work these days?”

INTRODUCING JACK'S FIRST EVER EXPERIENCE AUCTION
What the heck is an Experience Auction?
Rather than asking people to buy more stuff like we did last year (autographed memorabilia, 47-piece Dremel set, 50’ garden hose), we are asking people to bid on experiences—to create lifelong memories to share with their loved ones. We will harness the collective power of our Jack’s member group to create and/or source ideas for these one-of-a-kind experiences. We are aiming for 30 experiences in total. All experiences will start at $100 or more as a price point.
What are some examples of awesome Experiences I can contribute?
