Tom Coughlin Jay Fund Foundation Visits Wolfson Children's Hospital
Jacksonville, Fla., February 14, 2005
On February 14th, in the main lobby of Wolfson Children's Hospital Tom Coughlin and other board members of the Jay Fund were recognized by Hugh Greene, President and Chief Executive Officer of Baptist Health and Larry Freeman, administrator of Wolfson Children's Hospital for the contributions the Tom Coughlin Jay Fund Foundation has made to the Jacksonville community.
Coughlin also visited the pediatric oncology floor and the children who were hospitalized and too ill to attend the previous day's party.
The
Tom Coughlin Jay Fund Foundation has donated over 1 million dollars to Jacksonville area pediatric oncology patients and their families. The Jay Fund hopes to improve the quality of life for families by lessening their financial burden and providing emotional support.
The Jay Fund was established in honor of Jay McGillis, a special young man who played football at Boston College under Coughlin. McGillis died of leukemia at the age of 21. Through exceptional adversity and ultimate tragedy brought about by this fatal illness, Jay and his family set an example of courage and dignity that would forever leave its mark on those who knew him.
