Our Goal
Help us fly past our #JayItForward goal of $200,000.
Yes, we want to raise a particular sum of money. But we’re even more eager to share the joy of getting to and exceeding that goal—the excitement of seeing your name on the Leaderboard; the electricity of connecting with others who are just as committed to this life-changing institution; and the unbeatable satisfaction of paying it forward.
