The Holiday Color Run & Family Fest is FREE for kids of all ages and their families! Join us for 50- and 100-yard color dashes, inflatables, touch-a-truck and more.

We’re also kicking off the Friends of Jack Holiday Toy Drive, so please bring a new, unwrapped toy to help make a local child’s holiday brighter.

Every toy collected stays right here on the South Coast, supporting children in our own communities. Keeping toys unwrapped helps our team sort them and match gifts to the children we serve.

Dexter Lane Field, Rochester, MA

Presented by Waterman Building & Remodeling, in partnership with the Rochester Police Department and Fun 107.

Generosity goes further when a community comes together.

We are grateful to @vmiles509 of @milestonemortgagesolutions, @philsambrook of @commonwealthfinancialgroup, and the entire @rally2give community for a generous $37,704 gift to the Friends of Jack Foundation.

This support helps us advance our mission of supporting the physical, mental and emotional health of children throughout our community.

Behind every gift are people who choose to give their time, energy and heart to making a difference for children and families.

Thank you to everyone who helped make this contribution possible, and to @newbedfordguide for highlighting their generosity. by @friendsofjackfoundation

A little sneak peek from an incredible night.

We’re excited to share a few of the first photos from the 2026 Friends of Jack Foundation Annual Celebration. The full gallery will be ready next week, but we couldn’t wait to share some of these moments.

To everyone who joined us Saturday night: thank you. Thank you for showing up, celebrating with us, supporting our mission, and helping make this year’s Annual Celebration so special.

We are incredibly grateful to our guests, sponsors, donors, volunteers, partners, and everyone who played a part in making the evening possible. Your support allows Friends of Jack to continue making a meaningful difference for children and families throughout our community.

Enjoy this first look — many more photos to come next week. by @friendsofjackfoundation

We’re incredibly grateful to recognize Hannoush Jewelers as a Gold Sponsor of the 2026 Friends of Jack Foundation Annual Celebration.

As part of their generous sponsorship, Hannoush provided $25,000 in gift cards for our guests — an extraordinary gesture that helped make the evening even more special.

Their generosity reflects exactly what makes the Annual Celebration so meaningful: businesses and families coming together not only to support an event, but to support the children and families at the heart of our mission.

Thank you to Andrew Silva and the entire Hannoush Jewelers team for your partnership, your generosity, and your commitment to Friends of Jack. We are incredibly fortunate to have you as part of this community.

Tonight’s the night.

The 2026 Friends of Jack Foundation Annual Celebration is finally here.

Tonight, a sold-out room at Arch at the Meadow will come together to celebrate the people, programs, and partnerships that make this mission possible — and to help us continue providing comfort, courage, calm, and smiles to children and families throughout our community.

To every guest, sponsor, donor, volunteer, and supporter who helped bring us to this moment: thank you. This night is a reflection of what can happen when a community decides to show up for children.

We’re excited to share stories, celebrate the impact of the past year, and look ahead to what we can make possible together.
And if you’re not able to be in the room tonight, you can still be part of the impact.

What would you make possible with one raise of your paddle?

Saturday’s Annual Celebration will include one of the most important moments of the evening: our Paddle Raise, when guests will have the opportunity to directly support specific Friends of Jack programs and initiatives.

But you don’t have to wait until Saturday—or even be in the room—to make an impact.

Here are just a few of the opportunities available:

Hero Bear Kits
$100 provides 10 kits
$500 provides 50 kits
$1,000 provides 100 kits

Each kit includes a teddy bear, superhero cape, and mask that can bring comfort and courage to a child facing a difficult moment.

Sponsor a School for the Holidays — $500

Help provide toys and holiday assistance to children and families at a local school in need.

Adopt a New Family in Need — $500

Help a new parent bring their baby home safely by providing a car seat, Pack ’n Play, and other essential items.

These are only a few of the opportunities we’ll feature during Saturday’s Paddle Raise. Every commitment helps turn generosity into something tangible for children and families throughout our community.

The program with all the opportunities is linked below in the comments.

Individuals and businesses can reserve an opportunity now.

To commit before Saturday, email us at:

We’re proud to recognize Southcoast Health as a Silver Sponsor of the Friends of Jack Foundation’s 2026 Annual Celebration.

Our partnership with Southcoast Health extends well beyond this event. Through Friends of Jack’s support of Child Life Services at St. Luke’s Hospital and resources for young patients, we help make difficult medical experiences a little less frightening and give children more opportunities to simply be kids.

That shared commitment makes Southcoast Health’s support of the Annual Celebration especially meaningful. Together, we’re helping bring comfort, courage, calm, and smiles to children and families right here in our community.

Thank you to the Southcoast Health team for your partnership, your support of this year’s celebration, and the care you provide to local families every day. We’re grateful to have you beside us in this work.

The Annual Celebration is sold out, but you can still be part of its impact. Make a donation to support our programs on our website.

Our Friends of Jack online auction with KBK Sports is officially LIVE!

Today only, you can bid on autographs, cards and collectibles featuring the Bruins, Celtics, Patriots, Red Sox, Marvel, Star Wars and more — all while supporting Friends of Jack.

KBK Sports provides the auction items, manages the entire auction, and donates 75% of the profits back to Friends of Jack.

Important: This online auction is completely separate from the auction taking place at our Annual Celebration this weekend. That means even if you’re attending the Celebration, there are entirely different items available to bid on today through KBK Sports.

Bidding closes tonight at 10pm. ET.

Visit www.kbksports.com and look for the Friends of Jack auction at the top of the page.

Bid on something you love and help us continue creating brighter days for children and families in our community. by @friendsofjackfoundation
