Celebrating James' Legacy Through Grants on His 38th Birthday

10/20/2023

 
Celebrating with Purposeful Giving
Today, as we remember what would have been James' 38th birthday, the JPO Foundation is honored to commemorate his legacy by awarding a series of grants to organizations dedicated to the education of healthy relationships and crisis mental health services. This year alone, we've proudly disbursed a total of $36,200 to deserving institutions, with more on the horizon.


We extend our heartfelt congratulations to the esteemed recipients:
  • Sylvania Area Family Services
  • ProMedica Teen PEP
  • University of Toledo Kobacker Center
  • University of Toledo Counseling Center
  • The distinguished 2023 JPO Physician of the Year - Dr. Daniel McCarthy from UTMC
  • Dani's Place

This monumental endeavor would not have been possible without the unwavering support of our JPO sponsors, donors, and volunteers. Your commitment and generosity have been instrumental in turning our vision into reality, and for that, we are eternally grateful.


Our day began with a touching Mass in James' honor at the Oblates Chapel at St. Francis. The memories shared and sentiments expressed by Fr. O, Fr. Zobler, Fr. Rose, Joe Sweeney, and Maureen DeLaney from James' beloved school provided solace and strength to all present. In particular, Fr. O's uplifting message – reminding us that James is not gone, but simply waiting for us in heaven – brought immense comfort to our hearts.


Today, and always, we remain inspired by James' spirit and are committed to advancing the cause he held dear. As we look to the future, the JPO Foundation will continue to champion mental health awareness and education, keeping James' memory alive through our endeavors.


Thank you to everyone for standing with us on this journey of love, remembrance, and hope.
