It’s undergone a lot of changes of the years, none more than last year, but the Tom Coughlin Jay Fund keeps delivering on its mission to help families of children undergoing cancer treatment.
JACKSONVILLE, Fla. - Dozens of families were fortunate to attend Sunday's Jaguars victory over the New York Jets free of charge. The families were invited by the Tom Coughlin Jay Fund nonprofit organization. The invited families have a child who either has or has had a form of childhood cancer. Before heading into the stadium, the families were treated to an event with food and games at WJCT studios. Jaguars mascot Jaxson de Ville and members of the Roar were also there to meet the kids and get them pumped up for the game.
