Who we are

0

The mission of the Jam for Life Foundation is to support and serve the transplant community through music and arts. It is our goal to raise public awareness and at the same time raise funds to provide support and services through the staging of musical and artistic events. By using music and the arts we will extend ourselves tocommunities to build a common ground of support and reaching out to those in need. We will donate funds raised to appropriate and worthy individuals and organizations in the organ donation and transplant community.

GUIDING PRINCIPLES

COMPASSION: We will treat everyone on an equal basis and with respect, dignity and acceptance. We will invite all who wish to join with us in our efforts to do so.

COMMUNITY: We believe that the use of music and the arts can bring people together in a very unique way. We will develop community and a sense of oneness by using the common ground of these modes of expression and foster a sense of charity in our efforts

INTEGRITY AND TRUST: We will always make all of our fund raising efforts open and transparent. We will always work for the greater good of the community and people in need within the transplant community.

Jam for Life Foundation Completes Pledge to Build a Room at The Gift of Life Family House

 

On Friday, December 16, 2011, “Papa” Carl Anderson was joined by Foundation Vice President, Ernie Smith and Foundation Trustee and volunteer Pete Nagy in the presentation of the final installment of a $25,000 pledge to underwrite a residency room in the new Gift of Life Family House.  The trio presented a check for $10,00 to Gift of Life CEO Howard Nathan, Gift of Life VP, Jan Weinstock, and Family House Director of Development Sara Cohen.  A room in The Family House will be a direct result of the efforts of all of those who have supported The Jam for Life events.  In addition to presenting the check they took a tour of the facility and then “Papa” and Pete played some music for all of those who were enjoying the fireside in the Family House living room.  You can learn more about the Family House by visiting www.giftoflifefamilyhouse.org.
