The Road Ahead

Expanding our Impact

Each year, we have been growing our mission to build a thriving community and support families impacted by youth cancer.

 

In 2023, we launched our Community and Family Assistance Funds in the townships of Glen Ridge, Bloomfield, and Montclair by building partnerships with each school district. In that year, we provided $10,000 in Family Assistance Funds and $5,000 in student scholarships. This involved a scholarship offered in Glen Ridge, and family assistance provided through an application process in all three townships. 

​

In 2025, our goal will be to double our impact. This will involve growing our Family Assistance contributions to over $20,000 for the year, and rounding out our scholarship program by offering scholarships across all three townships within the Brookdale Park Area and adding Wayne and Totowa in the Preakness Valley Area. 

​

To increase the impact of our Family Assistance program, are committing all proceeds to support St. Jude Children's Research Hospital. â€‹

​

We envision offering a total of $30,000 in charitable contributions in 2024 and $60,000 in 2025 through our two programs. In achieving these goals, we will make remarkable advances in growing our young leader community and supporting families impacted by youth cancer.

Supporting St. Jude

Helping Children & Families In Need​

Treatments developed at St. Jude have helped raise the survival rate for children with cancer in the United States, where 4 out of 5 children survive cancer. In many countries, however, 1 out of 5 children who develop cancer will survive. St. Just promises to never stop until no child dies from cancer, no matter where they live.

​

Their goal is to improve global survival rates for six of the most common forms of childhood cancer from 20% to 60% by 2030.
