Jersey Mike’s – You Blew Us Away!
We are beyond grateful to share that Jersey Mike’s Subs Toledo and surrounding-area locations raised over $70,000 during their March Month of Giving to support Catching Up With Jack.

CUWJ 2024 has sold out in record time as we’ve completed our ticket sales to pack the Rosary Cathedral in downtown Toledo. We thank our amazing CUWJ community for supporting our 8th event; this promised to be our most impactful event yet!

A sold-out crowd was treated to a powerful, faith-filled experience at the Rosary Cathedral in downtown Toledo. Over 750 ticketholders and volunteers heard Matt Maher and Sarah Kroger sing their Christmas favorites as we remember Jack and do some good for pediatric cancer research together!

This year we were overwhelmed by the outpouring of support for our Christmas concert event. This year we sold over 1,200 tickets (sold out show) to attend our seventh annual event. Before the concert we had coffee and hot chocolate for our guests, and the celebrity of all celebrity visited CUWJ as Santa Clause was seen walking around and taking some wish list orders from Children. The concert itself was amazing, as Matthew West came back to rock the house of Cedar Creek Church and all in attendance. A powerful, fun, and festive event as we raise funds for pediatric cancer research and to help local families. Thank you all for our best event yet!

Now in its seventh year, CUWJ 2023 will be our biggest event yet with nearly 1,200 tickets sold for the Matthew West Christmas Concert. This sells out our event and we couldn’t be more thankful for the amazing support of our participants, donors, and partners.

Catching Up With Jack team was thrilled to open the Catching Up With Jack Parent Resource Room at the Ebeid Children’s Hospital. Pioneered by Brady and Katie Fineske, they wanted to provide the hospital with a place where parents could go during their children’s treatments. This is just another way Jack and our mission are helping others. For the full article on the Parent Resource room, click here.

We are changing it up a little this year. Now in its seventh season, Catching Up with Jack 2023 will be a Christmas Concert being held on December 5th at CedarCreek Church in Perrysburg. This year, we have a special guest returning as Matthew West will be back and will be sure to make this a Christmas concert experience to remember! Tickets will go on sale in the coming weeks.
