Adopt a Child Christmas 2024
events
Jay’s Kids hosts events throughout the year to raise funds to support our mission of spreading joy to children in our community.
Current event
Christmas is a magical time of year for children; however, it is a stressful time for many parents who worry that they cannot provide a memorable Christmas for their children. We honor Justin’s (Jay) memory by spreading joy and hope through donations to families in our community this Christmas. We are hoping to beat last year’s record of providing a happy Christmas for 20 children (6 families). Please see the link below to see how you can support our mission.
Past events
Jay’s Kids teamed up with Tyler’s Redemption Place to host a pancake breakfast fundraiser. Our team raised over $2000 to help support the mission of Jay’s Kids this holiday season.
Jay’s Kids sponsored a holiday event that provided Christmas gifts and coats for 20 children from 6 different families at McEbright Elementary School in Akron, Ohio.
