Friends of Jaclyn Foundation Live in the moment... Play in the moment

"It's truly remarkable that the strength and courage of a 10 year old kid this past season is what inspired 35 college kids to be stronger athletes and better people. Then again, if you know Jacyln, it's no surprise. Her courage is powerful and her spirit is contagious." Ashley Gersub 2005 National Northwestern team member

The holidays are a time to celebrate with family and friends, inspire others and give back to your communities. This holiday season, the Team at J. Calnan & Associates was truly inspired by a little girl named Jacyln Murphy who is in remission from a brain tumor after tremendous support from the Women's NCAA Division Champion Northwestern Lacrosse Team. Jaclyn's family recognized that the constant attention, email updates, text messages and support from the players on the Northwestern team is what helped Jacyln get through her hardest days. Jaclyn wanted other children to have their own teams as well and is now paying it forward by helping other children with brain tumors get the support they need from athletic teams through the Friends of Jacyln program.

In the spirit of the holiday season, J. Calnan & Associates has made a contribution to the Friends of Jaclyn Foundation in lieu of the traditional holiday gift. Jaclyn's story is one of determination, inspiration and truly giving back. Thank you for helping us to capture the true meaning of the holidays by supporting this amazing cause.
