The Inspiration

The Jack & Jill Late Stage Cancer Foundation is the first resource nationally to provide memory opportunities for children who have a Mom or Dad with late-stage, limited life expectancy cancer. The Foundation was incorporated as a 501 (c) (3) in June 2006 and began serving families in October of 2006 just three weeks before Jill Albert passed away from breast cancer at the age of 44.

Jack & Jill was inspired by Jill and Jon Albert's real life story. With an M.B.A. and years of executive experience in the corporate world, Jon found himself, his wife, Jill, and their two young children Jake and Jamie facing Jill's Stage IV metastatic breast cancer. Jill and Jon realized early on in Jill's fight the disease was not just attacking her body, but it was affecting their entire family.  Jill and Jon decided they needed to treat their family along with the cancer.  Jon took his marketing and operations background and combined it with their drive to formulate something positive and tangible out of the unfair and cruel.  The Alberts knew that for their kids, Jamie and Jake, strong memories of special times together would be their greatest inheritance.  From this notion, the Jack & Jill Late Stage Cancer Foundation was born.

Jack & Jill Mission and Purpose

The Jack & Jill Late Stage Cancer Foundation makes it possible for thousands of children to experience, enjoy and archive memories with their parents while they can by treating families to WOW! Experiences™ The American Cancer Society estimates 571,000 Americans died of cancer this past year. Many were parents leaving behind grieving children. The memories become an annuity, paying out over time.
