Support organization
Friends of Jaclyn Foundation pairs children with pediatric brain tumors or other childhood cancers with high-school or college teams, campus clubs, arts groups, or community organizations as honorary members. The Adopt-A-Child relationship is intended to continue beyond one season and may include calls, messages, visits, activities, packages, ceremonies, jerseys, team events, and continuing friendship. Safe on the Sidelines gives a healthy sibling a separate supportive team relationship. Guardian Angel and Angel Alerts provide online or message-based encouragement to a child and family during MRI appointments, treatment, hospice, and other difficult moments. Families use public forms or email routes, while local team availability controls matching and many age, treatment-status, safeguarding, geography, and language rules remain unpublished.
