Causes: Breast Cancer
Mission: The Go Jen Go Foundation is a Charlotte, NC area nonprofit providing critical assistance and family support to those facing the financial burden of a breast cancer diagnosis. Go Jen Go’s Patient Assistance Program helps cover household expenses including housing, utilities, transportation, and groceries/necessities while a patient undergoes breast cancer treatment. In addition, our Mood Williams Camp Scholarship fund provides camp opportunities for our grantees’ children, while our Operation Spread the Joy Program uplifts families impacted by breast cancer by delivering gifts during the holiday season.
Results: The organization was co-founded by Joe & Jen Pagani, a Charlotte mom who saw an unmet need in our community during her 6 1/2-year battle with breast cancer. With over $2.1 million granted to local patients, Jen's legacy continues as we help cover the day-to-day finances so families can focus on their fight against breast cancer.
