Changing Lives Through Sports

At Friends of Jaclyn (FOJ), we believe in the power of sports to bring hope, strength, and joy to children battling pediatric cancer. Universities across the country have embraced our mission, welcoming these young warriors as honorary teammates and creating bonds that last a lifetime.

Pictured here are Penn State, Alabama, Ohio State, and Shelton State—just a few of the incredible programs making a difference. These teams are not only competing on the field but also fighting for something bigger: giving a child the support, love, and encouragement they need. Through the FOJ adoption program, these athletes and coaches are proving that wins and losses do not just measure true champions but also by the impact they have on others.

Over 1,300 adoptions and counting—one child, one team, one family at a time. 💛🏆
