Welcome to our website for Catching Up With Jack. This year’s event was a slightly different program, as we switched from the run/walk event we hosted the first three years, to a concert experience which was hosted at Saint John XXIII Church. Our concert was headlined by Matt Maher, Christian music artist and Grammy award nominee, and I think its safe to speak for the crowd this year’s event was the most powerful and amazing yet. Our show was sold out with a house of 1,000 people, all coming together to remember Jack and help raise awareness and funds for a pediatric cancer cure. This year, we are proud to have raised $78,000 for this worthy and important cause.
A big thank you to all who attended and to our amazing sponsors who each year help make this event possible. We look forward to beginning our plan for next years event. Stay tuned!
JACK'S MISSION
Faith & Healing
Anyone who knew Jack quickly understood he was special. He was a special son and a fantastic big brother to four little sisters. Two of his greatest loves were Captain America and baseball, but beyond the above, Jack’s greatest love was God. As he endured round after round of treatment for brain cancer, Jack was steadfast in his faith, welcoming his next stage while calming those around him.
Jack’s undying belief was infectious to everyone around him and he has helped countless individuals and families feel closer to God as a result of his good work. We pray and hope that his strength can and will be felt by other families with children battling this terrible disease.
…JACK BECAME THE BEST VERSION OF HIMSELF. HE MOVED FROM OUR IDEA OF EXTRAORDINARY, TO GOD’S IDEA OF EXTRAORDINARY. HE NAILED IT! HE DID IT BETTER THAN THE REST OF US, FASTER THAN THE REST OF US.
THE CHALLENGE HE LEFT FOR US IS TO SPEND THE REST OF OUR LIVES TRYING TO CATCH UP WITH JACK
