It’s hard for a child to look forward to the first day of school if they don’t have a uniform, a backpack filled with supplies, or even basic hygiene items.

Each year in May, Senior Decision Day is a national rite of passage that marks the deadline for graduating seniors to commit to a college, trade school, military branch, or workforce opportunity.

Summer is here, which for many means finding seashells along the shore or hiking to a waterfall while on vacation. Yet many students at Jane’s Fund have no travel plans.

We all remember a time in childhood when we were given an opportunity to work hard toward a goal—and either claimed victory or missed the mark.

Lemonade, popsicles, cookies, and more have organically appeared over the years in the form of lemonade stands supporting Jane’s Fund each summer.

Stories from first-time campers remind us exactly why camp matters — and why we must continue giving more children the chance to experience it.

Singing, dancing, marching, whistling, and making music are essential parts of life — igniting creativity, building confidence, and spreading joy.

Jane’s Fund is on a mission to provide opportunity and access to students attending under-resourced schools and give hope through financial assistance to families with a child dying of cancer.

When opportunity called, Jane's Fund raised our hands to sponsor West Charlotte female competitors to travel to Myrtle Beach to compete for the first time on an elite stage.

Because of you, more families will be supported in their hardest moments. Because of you, more students will be seen, encouraged, and given opportunities they never thought possible.

Last week, because of your generosity, 83 students from Ranson Middle School stepped into something bigger than their everyday environment.

At Jane’s Fund, we believe miracles don’t always arrive in grand moments. Sometimes, they are built one swing, one laugh, and one friendship at a time.

On March 5, community came together to celebrate three years of Jane's Fund, and it was a true miracle to experience the power of strangers laughing and crying together in one space.

Every single one of you who gives, volunteers, attends, shares, and believes is part of our why, and the reason we have many miracles to share each Monday.

This school year, Jane’s Fund proudly teamed up with Berryhill School to launch an exciting attendance initiative to help students get to school every day.

As Dr. Martin Luther King Jr. reminded us, “The time is always right to do what’s right.” When a community comes together to do what’s right, the results are powerful.

Schools cannot operate without teachers, custodians, coaches, and administrators. These unsung heroes are rarely acknowledged in a tangible way, simply because of the population they serve.

“Called” to prepare middle schoolers for high school, Principal Tracey Pickard is on a mission: Ignite Excellence and lift Ranson Middle School from an F to a C within three years.

Our partnering schools are grateful for the opportunities YOU have provided throughout this month. 

Many students at Garinger High School are struggling — some don’t have basic clothing items, and others miss meals when they’re not in school.
