Recently, THE PLAYERS and Jay Fund teamed up to deliver gourmet meals to 31 local families with children fighting cancer. September, as Childhood Cancer Awareness Month, was the perfect opportunity to raise awareness for the struggles that families experience when they have a loved one with cancer, food insecurity being one of the most important.
“When a family faces childhood cancer, they may struggle to afford groceries or put food on the table,” said Keli Coughlin, CEO of the Jay Fund. “We want parents to be able to focus on their sick child rather than worrying about feeding their family. We’re grateful to Chef Eric Butcher of the TOUR Café and THE PLAYERS team for preparing and delivering these meals and alleviating some of the stress these families face.”
