OUR CAUSE

JackFest benefits the Ronald McDonald House of Charlottesville, which helps keep families together as their children receive treatment for serious illnesses at UVA Children's Hospital. 

We welcome you to come have fun, create memories, and support great causes!

ABOUT OUR BENEFICIARIES 

The Ronald McDonald House serves families of children that must travel far from home for critical medical care. Charlottesville’s House is one of nearly 400 across the globe that provides families with lodging, meals, transportation, community, and comfort as they go through the stressful experience of having a sick child. The House provides these services free of charge, which means it relies heavily on charitable donations to carry out its mission. Each $1,000 raised through Jack Fest will help support a family’s needs for about 8 nights. JackFest also supports UVA Children's Hospital and its childhood cancer programs. Many families that travel long distances for care at UVA stay for weeks and even months at the Ronald McDonald House. 

Thank You for Supporting JackFest!
