AYJ Programs

AYJ  SMILES

Our AYJ SMILES program provides gift items and fun experiences to children with cancer. These provide a fun distraction to long days of testing, treatments and not feeling well.

Over
5,000 SMILES provided to date

AYJ  CONNECTIONS

AYJ Fund provides tablets and laptops to keep kids connected to friends, family and school. These items help to minimize the isolation children feel when they are not well enough to engage in activities they love.

50 laptops/tablets and 4 gaming units to Children's Clinics

AYJ  CURES

The AYJ Fund provides funding for critical research to find effective treatments for gliomatosis cerebri (GC) and other brain cancers. 

We also advocate at the state and federal level for increases in funding and programs to support families of children with cancer.

$1.4 million committed to brain cancer research
