For nearly 15 years, friends, family, and the community have shown an incredible amount of support in our efforts in creating a legacy for Jennifer Ireland.  In those years, we were able to raise over a half a million dollars and help hundreds of families during their toughest times.  Our grants, while modest, provided these families with funds to bridge the gap when the burden of utility bills, child care, medical expenses, mortgage & rent payments, and transportation costs could not be overcome.  We hope that we have not only paid the love and support we've received forward, but made life a little easier for families as they fight for their own, or a family member's life.  

 

2020 and 2021 took a toll on all of our lives, businesses and health.  Our family and organization chose to pause our fundraising efforts related to JIF.  We will be back soon, rebranded and ready to "fight the good fight" alongside those in need.
