Meet James!

When he was seven years old, doctors thought he had asthma but he was later diagnosed with Stage 4 Neuroblastoma. He’s undergone two stem cell transplants and 32 cycles of chemotherapy.

He’s in 9^th grade and absolutely loves school and spending time with his friends. He enjoys fishing, video games, cheering on the Detroit Lions and creating art.

We’re so excited to take James and his family to Disney World with the help of Kroger, Planet Fitness, Savvy Sliders, Masco, Emagine Theatres, Glenlore Trails, The Village of Rochester Hills, Kinetyc and our charitable partner, Angels of Hope!

Each child that Jay’s Juniors has had the privilege to help has a unique and inspiring story. Listen to an exclusive audio clip from the Jay Towers in the Morning show, where Jay talks about the child’s story and the impact Jay’s Juniors has had on their life. We invite you to get to know these incredible kids and celebrate their strength and joy with us.

For those who have inquired about Jay’s Juniors and its nonprofit status, it’s important to know that all donations are processed through our charitable partner, Angels of Hope, a registered 501(c)(3) organization. Our Jay’s Juniors team is a loving group of volunteers who receive no salary for their dedication. A typical all-expenses-paid Jay’s Juniors vacation at Christmas time for 25-30 families can cost anywhere between $450,000 to $500,000, covering hotel accommodations, ground transportation, multi-day theme park passes, meals, snacks, PhotoPass, and souvenir money. Additionally, Delta Airlines requires us to charter a plane to accommodate our families and volunteers, which generally costs close to $200,000.
