The Friends of Jack Foundation Supports Pediatric Care

The Pediatric Team at St. Luke’s Hospital recently received a special donation of $35,000 from the Friends of Jack Foundation’s Golf Tournament held earlier this spring. This donation will directly support pediatric services across Southcoast Health, advancing the care provided to our youngest patients.

“Presenting this donation is certainly one of the highlights of our year, but the credit belongs to everyone who supported the tournament. Every sponsor, golfer, volunteer, donor, and community partner played a role in making this possible. This tournament is a perfect example of what can happen when the Friends of Jack and Southcoast Health work together toward a common goal: providing exceptional pediatric care for children and families throughout our region,” said Jill Fearons, Founder and President of the Friends of Jack.

The Friends of Jack provides support to our pediatric programs, including the Child Life Specialist program, donations of Hero Bears, toys and books to our pediatric emergency department and special care nursery, investing in innovative technology and much more.

“We are incredibly grateful for the year-round support the Friends of Jack Foundation provides to our pediatric teams,” said Ethan Kehoe, Director of Mission Advancement at Southcoast Health. “With their dedication and generosity, we are able to provide the highest level of care and service to the children and families we serve.”

Thank you to the Friends of Jack Foundation for your continued partnership.
