Treating families to WOW! Experiences®, giving children who will lose their Mom or Dad to cancer a timeout to create indispensable memories as a family... while they can.
The Inspiration
The Jack & Jill Late Stage Cancer Foundation was inspired by Jill and Jon Albert’s real life story. During Jill’s fight with Stage IV metastatic breast cancer, Jill, Jon and their two young children quickly realized that the disease was not just attacking her body, but it was affecting the entire family. The Alberts knew that strong memories of special times together would be both their kids’ greatest inheritance.
From this notion and inspiration, the Jack & Jill Late Stage Cancer Foundation was born.

The Memories
“Words cannot express our extreme gratitude for the once in a lifetime family memory you provided us. Our New York experiences will definitely be cherished by each of us always. My brain cancer turned our world upside down, but the trip you provided us brought a respite for our family to regroup and have fun together. We so appreciate all that you did for us. Thank you from the bottom of our hearts.”
