Wounded Warrior Project

Wounded Warrior Project began when several individuals took small, inspired actions to help others in need.

One night while watching the evening news, a group of veterans and brothers were moved by the difficult stories of the first wounded service members returning home from Afghanistan and Iraq. They realized then and there that something needed to be done for these brave individuals beyond the brass bands and ticker tape parades.

St. Lukes Eldercare Solutions

St. Luke’s has been providing needed community services to seniors and promoting elderly independence since being founded in 1865 as a home for civil war widows. In 1982 St. Luke’s initiated a program to provide outreach support services to the homebound elderly living independently in the community. In 2003, through a grant from the Robert Wood Johnson Foundation, St. Luke’s developed a volunteer service model based on communities working together to provide valuable needed support services to low income elderly.

Tom Coughlin Jay Fund Foundation

The Tom Coughlin Jay Fund Foundation was created in honor of Jay McGillis. Jay was a very special young man who developed leukemia. The courage, compassion and faith he demonstrated during the course of his illness were an inspiration to many people.

The mission of the Tom Coughlin Jay Fund Foundation is to assist children with leukemia and other cancers and their families by providing emotional and financial support to help reduce the stress associated with treatment and improve their quality of life.
