Raise money for Jett Foundation
Jett Foundation empowers people and families impacted by Duchenne muscular dystrophy through the development of transformative programming, educational opportunities, and ongoing support for every stage of a Duchenne journey.
Jett Foundation is a beacon of hope and a deeply trusted resource within the Duchenne muscular dystrophy community. Its commitment goes beyond conventional support, providing one-of-a-kind, transformational direct services and wrap-around support for every member of the family impacted by Duchenne.
Jett Foundation was established in 2001 when Jett McSherry was diagnosed with Duchenne at the age of five. His parents wanted to help other families dealing with the devastating news following a Duchenne diagnosis.
Jett Foundation proudly employs 11 full-time and 1 part-time staff, who work tirelessly alongside an incredible force of over 300 passionate volunteers. Together, they serve more than 4,000 individuals annually across the US. Jett Foundation is driven by the belief that no family should face Duchenne alone, providing the comprehensive support needed to navigate challenges and embrace brighter futures.
Currently there are 20,000 patients in the US living with Duchenne and Massachusetts, where Jett Foundation is headquartered, has become a hub of clinical care, with 600+ families traveling from all over the United States to receive care here. Today, Jett Foundation is in the early stages of a Capital Campaign, to build Jett’s Place, a first-of-its-kind wellness and retreat center for individuals who are living with physical disabilities.
Duchenne muscular dystrophy (DMD) is the most common fatal pediatric disorder. This progressive neuromuscular disorder leads to a loss of motor, pulmonary, and cardiac function, ultimately resulting in premature death.
Jett Foundation empowers people and families impacted by Duchenne muscular dystrophy through the development of transformative programming, educational opportunities, and ongoing support for every stage of a Duchenne journey.
