Causes: Philanthropy, Public Foundations
Mission: The Tom Coughlin Jay Fund Foundation provides critical financial, emotional, and practical support to families tackling childhood cancer. From diagnosis to recovery and beyond, the foundation is part of the family’s team, allowing parents to focus solely on their child’s wellbeing. Our goal is to BE THERE for parents facing the unthinkable so they can be there for their sick child. The Tom Coughlin Jay Fund Foundation is the legacy of Jay McGillis, a player Coughlin coached at Boston College who was diagnosed, and sadly, lost his battle with cancer. Jay’s journey and the community’s compassion inspired the Coughlin family to create a nonprofit to help families just like the McGillis’s.
