During the holiday season, we are reminded how grateful we are for the things that we have. While we check off our gift-giving lists this Black Friday and Cyber Monday, there are so many ways to give back to those who need support in our Duchenne and neuromuscular community. Please consider giving hope to Jett Foundation and making a difference in our Duchenne community on GivingTuesday, Tuesday, December 1st.

For the past several years, Jett Foundation has hosted an annual World Duchenne Awareness Day event of celebration and remembrance in the Boston area, the epicenter for rare disease research. Due to COVID-19, our normal gathering and awareness efforts went completely virtual.

Thanks to the unwavering support of our donors and sponsors, we have been able to continue serving our community in creative and safe ways during the COVID-19 pandemic.

Given the global pandemic, Jett Foundation made the difficult decision to cancel JettRide 2020, like so many other events across the nation. However, in the spirit of the JettRide, we are determined to keep our beloved tradition alive by offering the first-ever Virtual JettRide!

We know just how challenging it has been for our families in the past several months. We’re all adjusting and doing our best and it is important to take a break and talk things out. Through one of our many programs, Porch Nite, Duchenne community moms come together to support other moms, lending an ear to listen and a shoulder to lean on.

#GivingTuesdayNow is today! Millions of people around the world are supporting organizations and causes that are meaningful to them during these especially difficult times. Now more than ever, Jett Foundation needs your support.

Spring is usually a sign of warm sunnier days spent with friends and family, but it is a little different this year because of the coronavirus outbreak. With social distancing in place for many communities across the country, it is time to get a little creative with what we can do to enjoy the start of spring!

So much of what we do at Jett Foundation to secure funding and awareness for our programs includes bringing together our community at gatherings and athletic events that are just too risky to engage in right now. We need your help more than ever right now.

In light of all we are facing as a community and as a nation during the COVID-19 outbreak and aftermath, we have made the difficult decision to cancel, instead of reschedule, our 2020 Celebration of Impact.

Jett Foundation will continue to honor our commitment to supporting families impacted by Duchenne in everything we do while balancing the needs of our community with the concern caused by coronavirus, also known as COVID-19.

The recent outbreak of the Coronavirus (COVID-19) has understandably led to a number of questions about how we can prepare and respond ahead of our planned programs and events.

At Jett Foundation, we work hard as a leading nonprofit in the Duchenne space to extend and enrich the lives of individuals impacted by Duchenne muscular dystrophy and other neuromuscular disorders. Our annual JettRide is one of the most exciting and dynamic opportunities for our community to come together as we fulfill this mission together.
